I agree with your B), but A) becomes trivial when your app store has over 100,000 apps. As long as the major app devs are on your platform it doesn't matter "whose is bigger".

I agree with everyone else here, it doesn't matter the ram if it runs seamlessly. I have an android phone but its pretty impressive that the iphone can run so smoothly with less ram then its android equivalents.

True, but you would have to download all the apps. I just don't want to see android fragment because of amazon.

I guess my point wasn't clear. What I'm trying to say is the feature set difference between cars and tablets between the higher end (porsche) and lower end (civic) are not as evident as with tablets.

cars have over 1 million parts each of which go through rigorous validation testing for safety and environmental standards (both industry and governmental). For example every part is tested to work at -40C - 125C.

I really wonder if google will offer amazon a partnership if the kindle fire becomes so popular. Maybe have all android devices with the amazon ecosystem (but still maintain 2 separate app stores, or merge them someway). That maybe a partnership that can compete toe to toe with apple.

don't have to be a dick to give information.

simon is wrong, its the number of monkeys that attack people during rush hour.

same here, I thought they were gonna jump off.

I think your exactly right. I've worked at HP and they really have no clue what they are doing there anymore.

China may not be an ally to the US, but it is a major ally for Pakistan. You can't invade a country and expect everything to be fine afterwards.

I agree, no doubt apple computers look good and function great after Steve came back.

funny since apple's computers became more aesthetically pleasing after jobs re-took over apple.

China's rise != america's downfall
