Why Can’t You Add The Google Play App Store To Kindle Fire HD – Makes No Sense

SEE ALSO:  The New Kindle Fire HD — Only $199

One thing that frustrates me more than anything is why Amazon doesn’t allow Google Play – Google’s Android app store – to be installed on the Kindle Fire HD.  Certainly, Kindle Fire HD’s have been flying off the shelves over at Amazon.  And with the holiday season, this trend will continue is overly aggressive fashion.

But outright preventing the installation of Google Play onto the Kindle Fire HD?  Really?

This is not only frustrating to so many unsuspecting Kindle Fire HD buyers, but also a bit perplexing as to why Amazon would do this!

I know, I know… Amazon is ultimately forcing everyone onto their store via the Amazon App Store.

So now, the only way people are installing Google Play onto the Kindle Fire HD tablets is by simply rooting the device.  But of course, once you root your Kindle Fire HD you immediately discredit the warranty associated with it.

I would have thought Amazon would want to do whatever they can to encourage more people to buy their Kindle Fire HD tablets.  But by not allowing the Google Play store to be installed is creating more of a backlash than anything else.

Sure, you can get apps from Amazon’s app store, but it’s nothing like having the lineup of apps you get from Google Play.

What do you think about this?  Do you find it frustrating that Amazon is not allowing easy, or pre installed, access to Google Play on their Kindle Fire HD’s?

Chuwi V99 Tablet Features Retina Display Resolution, Sells for Less Than $300

Now with the Nexus 10 tablet announced, a huge resolution on a 10 inch tablet doesn’t seem that unusual anymore and it’s not even reserved to Apple anymore. There’s now a new Android model with such a resolution, the Chuwi V99, a slate from Asia that packs a dual core CPU and a 2048 x 1536 display.

The screen has a 9.7 inch diagonal and its features include a dual core Rockchip RK3066 processor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and possibly 1 GB of RAM. With the Google Nexus 10 weeks away from its debut, at $399, you can pick up the Chuwi V99 for $250 to $290, according to different retail websites. The only problem I have with this model is that it may end up being quite a battery eater, with such a screen.

The tablet seems to be quite similar to the iPad, having the same size, shape and weight. The folks who tested the device says that the text and images look very crisp on the display, compared to lower resolution slates. The 4:3 aspect ratio makes the slate easier to hold in both portrait and landscape mode, compared to tablets with widescreen displays. Frankly speaking, the picture here makes the display look washed up and I hope it’s the fault of the pictures, not the device.
