One Thing Apple Could Learn From The New Amazon’s Kindle Fire

The entire network has been announcement this morning from Amazon compressed (no pun intended). After months of rumors, the online retailer unveiled its Android Slate: The Fire Kindle.



Of course, the tablet is one of the best Android-based opportunities that we have ever seen, but there is still iPad. However, there is one thing that I think the Cupertino company could learn from Amazon and its new device ...

The freedom of choice. Sascha Segan PC Magazine had an interesting conversation with Jon Jenkins, project director for the Silk Amazon browser. The developers explain the position of rooting on the Amazon (aka Jailbreak) your new tablet:
“Amazon’s new Kindle Fire tablet has a great user interface, but many of our readers already want to get rid of it. That’s OK. Amazon isn’t doing anything special to prevent techies from “rooting” and rewriting the software on its powerful yet inexpensive new tablet. “It’s going to get rooted, and what you do after you root it is up to you,” Jenkins said.”
The controller continued to say they do not know if the bootloader is locked or not compressed, so as to be an obstacle for hackers Android. "The company will not help hackers root of the tablet, it's just not actively trying to stop them," said Jenkins.

Imagine if Apple had this kind of attitude. We would all still JailbreakMe COMEX is a tool to enhance the capabilities of our devices with a touch screen. What Apple has won through to clear these exploits? Less Jailbreakers? I do not think so.

While I do not see from Apple in this position in the near future, it will be interesting to see this approach for Amazon compressed. Kindle the Fire has a dual-core processor, a strong-IPS screen, and starts at $ 199. Users can purchase and then optimize the operating system to their liking. Interesting.
