As we have mentioned before in many of our Kindle reviews, Amazon has been working to model Apple when it comes to the way they implement their technology. They are hoping to build an infrastructure around the Kindle Fire and their other Kindle devices to allow for you, the end user, to use their products for almost all of your media and technology needs. About the only thing they lack right now is their own computers.
However, it is not Amazon that Apple i worried about – it’s Android. Since the Android operating system for phones has hit the market these phones in total have now outsold the iPhone, and their share continues to grow.
If that’s the case, then why would Apple come out this week and say that the Kindle Fire is actually a good thing for their company? According to them, it’s about fragmentation. Since the Kindle Fire runs on a form of Android that does not support the usual setup – the Android Market, etc., while it runs on Android, it will not be like other devices that run the system and will not be familiar to customers who currently have the platform on their phones.
An example – if you use the iPone and you go get an iPad, the interface will be very familiar to you. However, An Android phone and a tablet with the operating system might be completely different.
This makes it difficult for developers as well. App creators will have to make sure their app works on Android in all its forms plus on the Kindle Fire as well. This can be difficult and could move some developers to focus more or primarily on iPhone.
At this point, it is all nothing but speculation, as the market is not yet flooded with the many Kindle Fire units that have been sold already. I don’t think it will have the effect that Apple thinks it will, at least not on a strong level, but only time will tell!
