Sidling up alongside CyanogenMod 7 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Cyanogenmod7), Android's latest and greatest version has made an appearance: the Ice Cream Sandwich is on Fire. XDA-Developers forum member g1011999 has been kind enough to offer up the shot you see above, with the promise of a kernel release in the near future. As is often the case with these works in progress, it's not perfect just yet. While hardware acceleration and touch input are ticking along, both audio and WiFi are proving trickier to pin down, so we'd recommend interested non-tinkerers hold out a little longer. You can, however, whet your appetite with a brief video rundown after the break.

Looks good! I am still not sure about Kindles (I think I am just being conservative) but I still like the idea of owning books, however for people travelling they are absolutely ideal. And the Kindle Fire looks great.

im hoping the kindle fire gets released in the UK with a comparable price to the US, ie around 130 Pounds
