The reason i brought this up was because of it's price and the possibilities of it not having a strapped bootloader making it possible to install the meego or Maemo os.
I wasn't aware that they were comparable devices. I most certainly don't consider my tablet as a replacement/alternative to my phone, it's more of a general family device (otherwise known as Couch Surfing).

Mileage may vary, of course.

I don't think it's very likely that either OS will be installable. Every attempt to port MeeGo to another ARM device has been roadblocked by graphic drivers. This will very likely be a similar case. Unless it's Tegra 2...

We would need to know the kernel version of the Kindle Fire though.

Unfortunately, search results suggest OMAP4.

The price is good, regardless of the increase we'll be getting. It'll sell to families, that's for sure.
