They put out a call for developers to do ...Woody,<br /> They put out a call for developers to do apps specifically for the Kindle and put out some pretty strict rules about the price of the apps based on how much 3G bandwidth might be needed since Amazon says they provide that upfront. <br /><br /> Some can be free, but if the app requires 3G use, then for certain amounts used (spelled out), they have to set fees.<br /><br /> I do think that they will also do what you describe...<br /><br /> I'd be shocked not to get a calendar or notepad app for the Kindle.<br /><br /> Right now I'm using http://bit.ly/g_tasks in the web browser (when I open up my gmail on the computer, the calendar has all the tasks in it, in date order. I love it).<br /><br /> Tasks feature: Not editable in Kindle, just readable -- it goes to the 'android' link and it's not exactly a super match but it does read the tasks when I'm out.<br /><br /> It might even allow adding a task (I can't remember) but definitely no editing.<br /><br /> I just add 'notes' into an existing Kindle file for making notes while out. And can search the file too.<br /><br /> The Calendar in gmail is difficult to read on the Kindle, though the URL http://bit.ly/g_mail works well for gmail itself (as a quick-look type of thing), to a point (I've described in a blog entry the tedium of replying to a gmail note with the Kindle3 right now (easier w/ the Kindle 2, ironically).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-51228091419009693072010-10-10T23:26:35.480-07:002010-10-10T23:26:35.480-07:00I don't think the Amazon Android Apps store is...I don't think the Amazon Android Apps store is going to be a KINDLE apps store. It's a competitor to Google's (and Verizon's) app store for android. <br /><br />I wish it weren't so - would love a calendar app for the kindle - but there it is.Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928700690669891142noreply@blogger.com
