Okay. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Kindle Fire. A tablet similar to an IPad, specializng in books, but also in dependable apps and excellent web service. However, what concerns me is that many other tablets have the Waypoint App, but not the Kindle Fire. A while ago, either 343 or Bungiee had creaed a similar app for the Kindle, called ‘Reach Service Record.’ It was a fine app, no problems at all. Besides the fact that you couldn’t enter your Gamertag due to the fact that their was no enter button.
I didn’t mind untill I found out the new features coming to the Waypoint app, and with my lack of Windows Phone 7, IPad, IPhone, ITouch, or Android, I feel left out. Kindle probably has more then enough processing power to handle it.
In reality, it wouldn’t be that hard. The device literally is the exact same as the IPad, besides iOS. Just stick it in there. I mean, barely anybody has a Windows Phone Seven, yet it’s on there. Besides, it doesn’t have to be free, and even if they charge 99 cents, I’m pretty sure they’ll lose no money, perhaps strike a small profit, and also make a few community happy, a Win/Win.
To be honest, I didn’t care about it until we could disrupt our current single player event to play Slayer with someone, putting you into the lobby instantly, and all that jazz.

I can tell you now that the Kindle & iOS will be nothing a like when it comes to making an App work on it, just because it looks and acts the same, doesn’t mean developing is the same.
Windows Phone 7 is a Microsoft phone, that’s the only reason Waypoint lives & breathes on there, they were not going to put it on a rival phone first.
Yet, Microsoft allows 343 to put the app on three devices made by Apple, their worst enemy. I understand iOS and whatever the Kindle OS is don’t work the same, but their apps typically use the same process; shown by the fact that they share many apps, and the shared apps have no differecnes when progressing over.

That’s not the point I am trying to make, I am saying to make them work, they need to change things for it to work with said OS, Kindle having a different OS completely from both iOS, Android & WP7.
Kindle is based off Android, right? Can’t you use the Android app? I don’t think “Reach Service Record” is an official app. Get the Halo Waypoint app for Android, if you can.

Do you realise how many iPhones have been sold? In the quarter four in 2011, they should thirty six million iPhone 4S’s alone. It is the most popular phone, MP3 player or whatever you want to call it. The Kindle Fire is nowhere near as popular, and therefore they get no app.
They just made the app on the three most popular platforms. More, hopefully, will come in the future.
