Where There’s Smoke….

September 30, 2011Posted by csandy

Amazon introduces its Fire tablet and more importantly, it’s Silk browser.  Why is the browser more important?  It’s the way most people now interact with technology.  Period.  Marc Andreesen was a genius (so was Eric Bina).  Case in point – the Palm was a horrible device (yes, it should only be referred to in the past tense) because its browser was terrible.  Likewise, the Blackberry browser is nothing to behold.  Apple took a bold step when it introduced full browsers on its iOS device.  People use browsers daily.  Manufacturers please note: if you release a general purpose computing device and the browser stinks, it will fail.

Kudos to Amazon for “getting it.”
