Is it possible they could be doing so much building on and skinning of android that by the time it's done they don't consider it android? I mean whenever this thing is announced I'm not expecting them to come out there with an android logo plastered all over the place.
Just like the Nokia X. They dont even refer to it as Android....like its already been mentioned Amazon also calls theirs FireOS.
I dont think Amazon minds it being considered Android. MS and Nokia dont want any parts of the Android connection...lol.
Bottom line: its gonna be interesting to see what software and hardware they choose going forward.
