Default Unofficial Ice Cream Sandwich Build for the Kindle Fire

http://liliputing.com/2011/12/andro...officially.html

"Sure, installing CyanogenMod 7 on an Amazon Kindle Fire is cool and all. But xda-developers forum member x1011999 decided to skip Android 2.3 Gingerbread and port Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to run on Amazon’s $199 tablet."

The Kindle Fire has some decent hardware in it.  While it only has 512MB of RAM, a little light especially for a tablet, it does have a dual-core 1GHz OMAP CPU and a decent SGX540 GPU.  The Ice Cream Sandwich build for the Fire is still in the early stages.  Basic features like audio and WiFi are not working.  But if you like to play with bleeding edge ROMs on new hardware you should definitely look into this a little more.  Check out the source article for a video of ICS in action on the Kindle Fire.
