Just rumours still.
But there is an opinion that it may not be too long now, as Amazon have been setting up the apps. to support it here..

Agreed!

Or indeed seek out a Google Nexus 7. Same sort of price, better OS, more powerful and less restrictive.

Amazon are expected to be announcing some new Fires and ereaders quite soon. Since they haven't announced the date of the announcement, speculation as to when they will be available and which available here is moot.

DC, at the start of this year there was a rumour that the "current" Fire wouldn't be released in the UK but version 2 would be later this year. It does sound at least possible that things are going that way.

unfortunately, from what I've read, they've stopped taking orders for the Nexus (guess they didn't make enough) and in the US there are long waits for them to be shipped

I might remember this wrong (haven't checked) but wasn't there a patents argument with Apple?

DC says:
Amazon have just opened a software development base in London and they are accepting apps from the EU and developers can say whether or not an app can be made available here, so I think it is inevitable.

I do wonder how many incentives Amazon can afford throw in to persuade people to buy the Fire and cough up for a Prime account. Everyone and his dog seems to be chucking cloud services at us these days.

Yes. Its to do with the term Appstore because iPad users might get confused and try to use it.

There is a court hearing in the US in October and Apple seems likely to lose because the Judge has said she is "minded" to throw it out. If Apple attempt to drag Amazon into UK courts then the US case will have been decided by the time it gets to trial here.

It has all got a bit childish really... and we customers ultimately foot the bill.
