Scratch another device off the list — the Amazon Kindle Fire has managed to successfully boot Android 4.0, otherwise known asIce Cream Sandwich. G1011999 ported ICS to the affordably priced tablet and was kind enough to share his work with the world in the form of a YouTube video. Check it out below:
That was an exhilarating minute and forty-one seconds, wasn’t it? As you can see, there’s still oodles of work to be done here, but the hard part has already been tackled — getting the device to boot with Ice Cream Sandwich. From here out, it should be smooth sailing as the bugs begin to get squashed and custom ROMs start brewing.
Does this news change your mind about the Kindle Fire? If so, and you’re looking to buy one, here’s an Amazon link for ya:
Android addict would be the two words I would use to describe myself. It’s the first thing I check in the morning, and the last thing I check before bed. I’m 30 years old, my first Android phone was the G1, shortly after its launch. I have also owned a myTouch 3G, and I have a myTouch 4G, which I am absolutely in love with. Other than Android, I’m a father, brother, college student, and almost-full-time employee at a local brewery/restaurant here in the cornfields of Iowa. If there’s anything you’d like to know, please feel free to hit me up. I’m a pretty nice guy, and I respond as quickly as I can. Thanks for stopping by!
