Amazon is switching its Fire tablets to Android

Malcolm Bryant - 'Open source Android', aka AOSP, is really bare-bones. All OEMs to this point have supplemented AOSP with extra functionality in order to have a viable consumer-facing product. In particular of course there is Google Play Services, which gives access to the Play Store and many other core Android features. Google Play Services is not part of AOSP but it seems extremely unlikely that Amazon would omit it if the intent is to make this tablet a mainstream Android device.
