Kindle Fire’s Silk Browser Hacked onto Other Android Devices
One of the best features of the Amazon Kindle Fire is its Silk browser, which uses the cloud to assist in rendering web pages for a smooth as butter browsing experience. It’s an advantage Amazon would like to keep exclusive to their hardware, but the hard-working devs of the XDA Developers forum have freed the software from its tablet prison. Thanks to a bit of hacking, the Silk browser is now installable on most rooted Android devices, including the likes of the Motorola Atrix and Droid X. As with most unofficial hacks, consider it a sort of proof-of-concept, but if you have been wanting to check out Silk without buying the $200 Kindle Fire, here’s your chance.
