For $200 this thing looks like damn good value. It's not and iPad and never will be, but isn't targeting that market either so I think it's going to be a raging success. What it really means is all the other Android tablet makers are going to have to compete with an Apple/Amazon dominated field.

Re: Kindle Fire
Yeah, its going to destroy the nook and I'm willing to bet there will be a rootkit out within a month of its release.

I woke up yesterday morning and the wife was jumping up and down like a giddy school girl. I guess now I know what to get her for her birthday

Re: Kindle Fire
I ordered one. I had been thinking of getting a reader for a while as my phone is nice for utility......but can't really relax while reading on it. Wanted color, thought about the Nook. I heard rumors of a color Kindle and decided to wait, and now here we are.
