Nope. The Kindle Fire is running Amazon's own fork of Android 2.3 ("Gingerbread") with a custom interface designed to more or less hide its androidness.
Running 2.3??? What crap.. In that case it is definitely nothing but smoke and mirrors.. a lot of folks are going to be disappointed.
Why anyone would buy a tablet with the PHONE version of the OS on it is beyond me.... You can buy those for $150 or less all day long.
If this is true, Kindle is nothing but a bunch of smoke and mirrors.. it’ll sell well innitially, but quickly fall off a cliff. 7” form factor AND 2.3??? Wow, that’s going to wear thin really fast.
