Gobandroid for Kindle Fire?

Post by shimari »

Just curious if there are any plans to create an Amazon Market version of Gobandroid for the Kindle Fire? I am tempted by the Kindle, but there is only one Go ap for it, and not a great one. I know there are various hacks for getting the Android Market on the device, but you also lose a lot if you root it. If I were to get one, I would want all the Amazon goodies, AND my favorite Go apps, not either or.

It's open source and easy to compile. Does Amazon let you install apk from the web?

Evidently it does, just found this cool link: http://www.technipages.com/kindle-fire- ... files.html

How would Gobandroid look on a 7" screen though? Will it be low resolution?

It's been tested on a tablet and should look fine.
