Well at $199 with that kind of integrated experience there is little room for complaints! ($300 would be a different story.) Plus it supports Flash and most Android games/apps from Amazon app store.

If people put up a better email client on Amazon store for decent price it would be even better. For someone who already has Prime but no tablet - this is a no brainer.

Thinking of all this - I think this will eat into the iPad sales. There are going to be many people buying this instead of the iPad - price, weight, integration etc. Q4 iPad sales would be worth watching.

The new Kindles also seem to be blazing the new trail - high quality low price. $79 is just an awesome price and so is $99 for the touch Kindle. (Bezos took a jab at Apple in two ways - cabled sync/backup and companies that work hard to make customers pay more vs. companies that work hard to make customers pay less!)

k9 mail (free, open source) is already available on amazon's android appstore, and it's a much better client than the stock android email app.


K9 is much better than anything I've seen. It's all I use, all the time.
