Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet Source Code Revealed

November 16, 2011 | In: Amazon Kindle, tablets

Wow, talk about one of the coolest reveals ever.  First off, the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet shipped ahead of schedule then we heard about apps being sideloaded and root treated and now we have even bigger news regarding this pretty stellar tablet.

Amazon has just released the source code for the Kindle Fire making this the best Kindle release ever.  This move puts Amazon high in our books if you ponder how many OEMs that have yet to release source codes for their Android devices.  Maybe Amazon is trying to tell us something?

While the release of the tablet’s source code won’t mean much to regular folks, this means that developers can start working on custom ROMs for the tablet. Folks who aren’t happy with the Kindle Fire tablet UI will be able to replace it in the future. I wouldn’t be surprised if CyanogenMod pays the Kindle Fire a visit too. It sure looks like Amazon is taking the steps to get their debut tablet right by pleasing both regular consumers and the developer community.

If you pre-ordered your Fire then you more than likely already have the tablet in your greedy little hands, so tell us, is it all that it’s cracked up to be?  Are you in love?
