It has a custom shell that is designed, intended and sold in order to be a platform for media sales from Amazon (including apps). It is not intended to be a generic android tablet because it doesn't have full hardware capabilities and the software, as provided does not support that usage. It can't even connect to the Android market, that by itself pretty much makes it a non-Android Tablet.
But if successfully rooted, like the Nook Color, that will no longer be the case. It will have access to the Google Market, like a NC/CM7 does.
Surely it is an Android Tablet under the skin, but has been locked down so that it cannot be used as an Android Tablet?
