It won't have android market access without a hack, just Amazon's market. The lack of a camera (among other things) means it doesn't meet the hardware standards google requires for shipping google apps which includes the market. Not that Amazon would want to anyway, they clearly would like to drive traffic to their store.
- Adaptive 15y agoThat all sounds right but still, what kind of compelling is an android tablet without gmail? I can't imagine they expect people to put up with imap. I can understand the drive-traffic-to-our-content-ecosystem, but there's some stuff a tablet just has to do these days. Then again, no camera, maybe they are positioning it as a fancy kindle, in which $250 is too much.
