Kindle fire is Android based. There is Amazon app store. I don't know if
the entire Google app store is available but it should be easy enough
for Tim to find out. One thing I've noticed is that the latest codecs
for the new hi def cameras weren't included with either my Archos or
Toshiba tablets. If Tim finds that true with the Fire, the easiest
solution is to install one of the many free players that work.
There are a lot of good free apps as well as terrible ones. Make sure
you install a good Antivirus before you start playing around,Tim.

was looking for an android antivirus...google says that android OS
isn't susceptible to viruses. the mcaffee folks agreed but said
android was malware vulnerable

Avast has a free anti-virus/malware app for Android.
