re: #43 Targetpractice

Was reading an article on that earlier, and I have to agree with their general sentiment that Amazon has a very tall order to fill. Bringing a new smartphone onto the market now is already an expensive task, but if you don’t have native apps that are on par or better than the competitions, then you’re sunk. And while Amazon has built a wide library for its Kindle tablets, the native apps it has for things like web browsing and email are nowhere near as good as what Google has to offer.

Ended up selling my Kindle because some very standard iOS and Android apps weren’t available for it without rooting. Forget that. More trouble than it was worth.
