If Amazon uses the open source part of Android without actually joining whatever program Google has for manufacturers, then it's not clear how it would be good

If Amazon uses the open source part of Android without actually joining whatever program Google has for manufacturers, then it's not clear how it would be good for Google.
(Such a scenario would probably also prevent Amazon from advertising it as an "Android phone".)
- mc32 14y agoAt this point it'd be too early to know if "Amazon" phone would have less cachet than "Android" phone, to most phone users. Since kindle has a pretty good brand they could call it the Kindle phone. Altho that would take with it some unwarranted/disconnected association. (long battery life/monochrome)
