1. It Runs Android: The Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, and InformationWeek’s sources all confirm that the tablet runs Google’s Android platform, though which version is still unknown.

It won’t look like anything we’ve already seen on an Android device, however. It will have its own user interface, its own menus, and its own app store from which to download applications. Amazon is not collaborating with Google on this version of Android, it is Amazon’s own variant.
