A lot of the best iPhone apps have been ported to Android, right, well the Kindle platform has some issues that may prevent it from getting the best apps. 1) 3G data allowance for apps is extremely limited, so if your app uses more than just a few KB of data per day you have to start charging a subscription fee. 2) The e-ink display makes it impossible to have smooth scrolling & almost any kind of animation, and has no touch sensor. So I think some of the best apps from other mobile platforms could be ported to Kindle but may require subscription fees & completely new UI to be designed. So it wouldn't be worth it.
BTW I signed up for their developer program 4 months ago, and have heard literally nothing back except to keep waiting.
