Dive Summary:

• Amazon has upgraded its Whispercast technology to enable the distribution of apps across multiple Kindle Fire tablets.
• Previously, educators who wanted to deploy an app across all of their students' tablets had to manually install the app through each individual user's account.
• Amazon's Whispercast upgrade, along with the Kindle Fire's relatively low cost, reinforces its position as Apple's direct competitor in the education tablet space.

From the article:

"... The service improves on the previous way of getting the same app onto a number of different Kindle Fire tablets owned by a single group, which actually required a manual install using everyone’s individual user account. Now, they can not only push out apps from the Amazon Appstore to all of their target devices, but they can also use Whispercast to send an invite to employees who have their own BYOD Kindle Fires. Once those employees join up with the program, they can be gifted the relevant Fire apps direct to their existing accounts. ..."
