Live from Amazon's tablet event in NYC! -- Engadget


Amazon.com Inc. on Wednesday unveiled the Kindle Fire tablet, which at half the price, could be the biggest challenger to Apple Inc.'s dominant iPad tablet.

The Kindle Fire will have a 7-inch display and sell for $199, compared with $499 for Apple’s cheapest iPad, Amazon executives told Bloomberg News. The device, a souped-up version of the Kindle electronic-book reader, will run on Google Inc.’s Android software, the Seattle-based company said.

Yep.

I think Amazon hit a homefuckingrun with this thing, as long as everyone is eager to jump in the entire Amazon ecosystem.

I think I will pick one up in December, unless a couple of 7" android tabs I am checking out go below $200 by then.

Supposedly in January they are releasing another one. It'll be a 10", etc. Could be hearsay and will be more than $200, obviously.

B - I did contact Amazon and they refunded me the difference of the one I bought and it's current price, which is $99. Great customer service!
