I know nothing about tablets/apps and have a question!


Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm still going back/forth about what kind of tablet to get. I have a question though...say that I get a Kindle Fire (just as an example)...would apps for an ipad work on it? Or do I have to stick with the apps that particular company puts out?

 

Sorry if this is a silly question. I honestly know nothing about this stuff, but we really want some kind of tablet and I want to cover my bases BEFORE we purchase!

 

Thanks!

 

ETA: We wouldn't be getting anything for a few months as we'd have to wait for taxes in February.

So, I take it a Fire is android and an ipad is obviously an "i-thing"?:lol:

 

I feel like I am speaking another language:tongue_smilie:.

 

The Fires run a forked version of Android, and can only access the Amazon app market. Few products competing directly with Amazon's offerings are allowed in Amazon's market. The Netflix app is the one that comes to mind.

Ok, another question...if I get an android phone (net10-prepaid), would I be able to put android apps on it?
You mean from Amazon?Yes, if they are compatible with the phone. You would first have to load the Amazon Appstore app. There are instructions at Amazon to accomplish this.The vast majority of Android phones sold have access to the Google Play app store.

 

ETA: Apps purchased anywhere other than Amazon could not be put on the Kindle Fire.
