Hey guys. Ahh the Kindle Fire. My first android tablet and obviously not my last it did me so good but now I'm gonna have to give it to my dad I just bought myself a nexus 7. I have to admit you guys made that old piece of s*** amazon firmware into something I never thought could work. you made that kindle into something that I never thought it could be but still I have to admit the nexus 7 is just so much better and I'll probably still be here but I'm gonna be over the nexus seven forums more. Thank you guys so much you have helped show me just why android triumphs over iOS.
ANDROID ON!!!

People are just too paranoid about this kind of crap. So they collect information and target ads based on your interests. Would you prefer blind random ads?
I'll have to give Google a call tomorrow so I know where to send the tin foil hat I just made for you.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
If you are truly paranoid...you would not be on this board. I love my KF...and Android....and Google. Does @pple offer anything open source? You have to sign up for EVERYTHING nowadays, so how does one omit themselves from the data collection? Get off everything and live off the grid. I'd rather mull around and see what trouble I can cause, and devices I can root. I'm getting the N7 too...but my KF still has years of use in my household. All I have to do is leave it in plain sight, and people gravitate like monkies to bananers.

Uhhh.... Apple tracking fiasco? Are you talking about the one where Google circumvented Safari's privacy settings and was subsequently fined 4 million for?
Google is doing some scary stuff if u want to look at the privacy settings for Chrome extensions made by Google. I completely understand the viewpoint of wanting nothing to do with Google. I no longer use Gmail or Google Docs for this reason.
I'm willing to take some privacy risks because Android is better than iOS.

A lot of people are scared of android, and most of them come from iPhones that just "work" and never had to to anything. Also, those same people just want the phone to make calls, or from the time, use flash.

Because its a beta and they want to experiment with it before going fully live. This has been going on a long time with Google products. Not to mention, the amount of demand makes the "product" be more worthy and more hype is created.

No. iOS and Android operate in a whole different way. iOS is also restricted for the hardware it's made for. iOS is also crap.
The closest to iOS you can come on android, however, would be MIUI.
Why the hell would anyone want that archaic POS on our awesome phone? Even if it was possible why would anyone want to????
if you want iOS then do what anyone else would do and buy an iPhone and become one of the many iSheep of the world (isn't it time they were culled anyway?)
Why would you want to do that? not 1 aspect of iOS is open source.
