That's way different than saying they like the option (or even know about the option) and would upload.
Either way, I don't think we fundamentally disagree - if Amazon is not going for volume of apps, they will need a wide distribution on-devices. If Amazon is going to release their own tablet, they may be able to pull it off but what happened on other devices was that people found out how to load up the Android Market; so unless Amazon can prevent this, I still think it could be a tough go for them. Waiving developer fees for a while, as Michael A. suggested, would largely make it a no-brainer for many devs. Shane -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
