Did you actually use Kindle Fire? Its just Android 2.3 with unresponsive and ugly UI glued over it. On top of that they took Android 2.3 default browser with all its bugs, removed about:debug, added their famous cache, christened it Silk and voila, a new broken browser though with different UA. I don't really call that a "new" OS.

On a similar note, if the browser in Android can be any measure for Android's OS quality - Android is doomed. In Android 4.x the browser is so bad, it makes baby seals cry. Don't get me started on all the bugs and "features", they are getting for the worse with every release

Not that the Harmattan browser is better, but at least they are not inventing broken things to cover other broken things. And Qt is killer feature for development (though I would prefer styling to not be restricted to QML only).
