When it's visible on your desktop, you can double-click the Kindle to see what's in there. apk file, plug your Kindle Fire into your Mac with the USB to micro-USB cable and wait for it to mount. Mini vMac isn't available in the Amazon App Store, so you'll need to download it from the link above, and then sideload it onto the Kindle Fire. You also need a Mac ROM image and disk images of old Mac System Software. You will not need to root your Kindle Fire to get this to work! If you want to emulate a color Mac, you'll want to root the Kindle Fire, get the Google Play app store running on it, and then purchase Mini vMac II ($1.99). The experiment I'm about to describe uses the Mini vMac emulator for Android, a free and easily available app. Later on in this post I'll also talk about how my cohort Erica Sadun found a way to turn the Kindle Fire into a Newton MessagePad. I'm happy to say that the experiment was a success, and that I now have a 14 ounce equivalent of a Mac Plus running old-school apps like HyperCard and MacWrite. Based on a story I posted the other day about running an old version of the Mac OS on a Nook Simple Touch, I decided I just had to try getting Mac OS running on the Kindle Fire. Since the book was published, I haven't touched the Fire at all - until now.
Last year when the Amazon Kindle Fire first hit the market, I bought one for US$199 to do research for a book.
