Kindle Fire now Most Used Android TabletThis post was last modified: 27 Jan 2012 09:14 PM by frogplate.
According to this article at GigaOM the Kindle Fire has just passed the Galaxy Tab in usage - 36% of all the end user application sessions on Android tablets now take place on the Kindle. In November the Galaxy Tab was top with 63% but the rapid rise of the Kindle has driven the Samsung down to 35.6%.

RE: Kindle Fire now Most Used Android TabletAmazon can sell the Fire at below cost and make up the difference on lock-in. I'm not sure that drive consumers to Google Search, Gmail and their Market would make Google enough to under-price the G-tablet by much. |

RE: Kindle Fire now Most Used Android TabletThe only thing that made me look twice was references to logging phone numbers called, but as IT World point out, this does seem to be a reference to Google Voice rather then Android. When making a phone call or sending an SMS from an Android device you are not normally using a Google service so the policy doesn't apply. |

Isn't it similar with Windows Mobiles though, you have to link it to a windows live account and you end up with all your contacts etc copied over to windows live.

You can use a Windows Mobile phone without a Windows Live ID, but only as a basic phone. Much of the smartphone functionality requires a Live ID - see the (very long) Windows Phone Privacy Statement. However some Microsoft services are accessed from separate IDs, for example Xbox LIVE and Zune - so the services are not quite so explicitly integrated as Google's. It could be argued that privacy is more granular on Windows Mobile as the user can log in with Windows Live, but not a Zune account, for example. But once any one account is associated with the phone's IMEI I assume that Microsoft can infer the rest. |
