Just read TFA and you read my mind. ICS would probably run like a dog on the hardware, and most true geeks will probably want more than 8GB storage to play with without access to cloud storage. Nice idea but 99% of the people a Fire probably don't even know it is running Android.

"ICS would probably run like a dog on the hardware,"

There is already an ICS ROM for the Kindle Fire. It's pre-release -has touch, wifi, sound but no gpu acceleration yet- so it's probably not a good indicator of performance. You can find a build as well videos on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1309
