Amazon Echo show Vs amazon Fire Tablet

Has anyone noticed that the Amazon Echo Show has more and enhanced ring functionality than the Amazon fire tablets. My Amazon Fire Tablets integration with Ring is purely view only with no integration. However, on the Amazon Echo Show (Android based) has a lot more functionality I.e. speak through cams I would have thought the Amazon Fire Tablets would have full integration ??? Given its the full amazon android OS ???

    Here is exactly what's available on what device. Looks like tablets only allow video for now. [https://www.techjunkie.com/ring-doorbell-fire-tablet/](https://www.techjunkie.com/ring-doorbell-fire-tablet/) I don't know if you can also just add the Ring app so you could also answer by voice.

      I guess in theory you could hack the amazon firetable so it uses the google app store and then I assume from there you could installed the Ring App. Its very interesting that the Amazon App Store doesnt provide access or a version of the Ring Andriod App.

      The reason why I brought this up is because the Amazon Fire Tablets have a "show" mode now and in theory behaviour like an amazon echo show when docked or plugged. So I thought the functionality would be available Maybe not ...... Ken

      Odd indeed. But you can very easily install the Google play store and apps if you do a quick search for it. I've done it in the past a few years ago for someone..
