Is there a version for the Kindle or even Android?
A lot of non-iPad tablets aren't getting a lot of the apps. that iPad gets.
That's the tradeoff for the lower prices of the other models.

The VOIP company I use had a blog about this, as they had their iPhone app out, but kept hitting delays in getting the Android version of that app done.
They said that there are a relatively limited number of iPad/iPhone versions, but so many different hardware details on the various Android phones/tablets - it made it much tougher to get the Android version working.

i bought this kindle 8.9 case with real keyboard-case stands the kindle up and keyboard wirelessly connects works great
Amazon.com: Belkin Bluetooth Keyboard Folio Case for Kindle Fire HD 8.9": Kindle Store
also- i have had the same problem at another site that i loaded the app. for some reasons some specialty apps do'nt work however did you look for it in the cloud setting-sometimes they go there and you have to pluck them from the cloud

Samsung Galaxy 2 7", wifi only, $180 a month or so ago. I also got a $26 wifi router. Very happy with them. Great for games, media consumption (bought a bunch of 16G microSDs also).

I am breaking the rules of this thread by saying this, but I returned an Ipad mini today. The screen was too small, the font wasn't sharp enough and it took forever to charge. This was my first tablet. I am going to do some more research. Perhaps I will buy a smart phone first, I've never owned a smart phone.
I am really behind the times.
