I'm not quite sure what the iFixit teardown has to do with rooting.
For more info on rooting Kindle, see <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348830" rel="nofollow">http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348830</a>
Mmmh, unless I'm missing something, I don't understand why the iFixit teardown is related with this supposed rooting of the device. Does anybody have more details or an other source? It's nonsense to me.
I do not think iFixit had any part in rooting the Kindle Fire. They took it apart, yes, but for more information on the actual rooting, see: <a href="http://androidforums.com/kindle-fire-all-things-root/446276-root-one-click-how-get-adb-running-root-superoneclick.html" rel="nofollow">http://androidforums.com/kindle-fire-all-things-root/446276-...</a>
according to the teardown the comm module is BT-capable, right? is this something that has been software-disabled?<p>edit: link

Sweet. Nice hardware and US$50 cheaper than the Nook tablet.<p>The only downside is that they probably subsidize the device and it doesn't feel right doing that to Amazon.
