2.1 isn't surprising, since they forked a while ago.
The GUI will be completely Amazon-built, so the the version of Android probably won't matter all that much to end-users.
Since this is all speculation, we'll have to see when the device is unveiled.
- runevault 15y agoExcept for the massive speed difference that comes from the JIT which arrived in 2.2
- moe 15y agoThere's really only two tablet speeds; "smooth" (ipad) and "jaggy" (android). If amazon makes their tablet "smooth" then that will be an achievement independently and despite of android - not due to a specific android version. And before the android-fanboys crawl out of the woodwork: The "next version" is always supposed to finally solve the lags, by virtue of some awesome software-fix or raw dual-core power. However, just today I used an SGS2. The latest "next version", dual-core and all. And guess what: It lagged.
- CrazedGeek 15y agoHaving used an SGS2 (the Sprint variant) for the past few days, you're crazy. If anything, it's almost a little too fast.
- moe 15y agoGive it a few weeks. It has an unfortunate tendency to degrade over time.
