Just like on the phone, too, right? That was sarcasm, btw.

I don't agree with their assessment and I am assuming they're putting on a nice face for investors. I think most users will consider this as a cool eReader that they can play Angry Birds on, not an Android tablet.

And on the PC, too. They don't even talk about fragmentation on the PC any more. It's just dismissed outright, even though it actually still does cause developer problems.

It's not worth complaining about because more devices means more users.

How many PCs are shipped with the previous version of Windows and absolutely no way to upgrade it?

How many Windows apps are targeted at a single model of computer and fail to work on others because they use a different size monitor?

Which is exactly why Amazon should've bought WebOS. As far as they're concerned, Kindle Fire users buy Kindle apps, not Android apps. Under the cover, Amazon could've picked any platform. At least with WebOS, they control the whole thing.

They still can, and should, probably, at least for the patents.

I imagine that Microsoft, Google, Apple, et. al are busy aiming their patent lawyers at Amazon.
