Amazon has just announced it's own cloud-based push messaging system built specifically for Kindle Fire apps, called Amazon Device Messaging. Right now it's purely a developer tool, but it should eventually make Kindle Fire apps a lot more useful — previously, developers had to write their own push notification systems, but Amazon's tool should offer some inherent improvements on that option. Amazon specifically calls out the opportunity for increased battery life, because apps won't have to ping servers constantly to check for new notifications. Even better, the API will be free to developers, so there aren't really any downsides to building this solution into apps
This will help bring Amazon's forked version of Android up to par...
