From Ed Lazowska:
Amazon.com announced yesterday that they will soon release a Kindle Development Kit, making it possible to build and test Kindle apps on Macs, PCs, and Linux, and get them onto the Kindle. Three relevant links appear below.
Amazon is willing to provision Kindles owned by UW CSE students with this capability (it requires pushing a new version of the OS to the device). They also are willing to send a couple of developers over to UW to run a short “boot camp” on how to develop Kindle apps.
If you’re interested in this — specifically, if you own a Kindle and would attend the short “boot camp” — please let me know ASAP. Thanks.
