Amazon Kindle Fire Spec Sheet - Updated as we know more...

[alphawave7]

I think the device is fine as it is. Many people only need the features the kindle fire offers.

Having said that, I broke down and cancelled my kindle fire pre order today. I just can't resist to the new ASUS transformer . It will be my frst tablet and I want something that will keep me happy for some time.

Fire will be my fourth...but I'm keepin my pre-order. Stick around, you may end up getting one yet!

I have Kindle apps for my PC (loaded onto my Asus netbook), my HTC Thunderbolt (& previously my OG Droid), have a 3G/WiFi/Kindle Keyboard, & pre-ordered a Kindle Touch & Fire. I've got an Audible.com & Amazon Prime account. Why wouldn't I want a Fire? Yep - Amazon is sucking me in. - But at <$200, I can play with it & then decide whether I need a more powerful tablet that will not load Amazon & Audible content.

Looks like the op needs to do some updating.

What needs to be changed?

Amazon knows exactly what they are doing and have a great track record in marketing. IMHO, the Fire will sell like hotcakes for the same reason there has been phenomenal success with the Kindle. Simple and easy to obtain desired media in a cool device, for a very good value. For those wanting the above -- buy a 7" Thrive, or a 10" tablet.

You are exactly correct. It is the Fire's connection to the Amazon market and the Kindle that most of the people who buy it will want. My wife has a Kindle and now getting a Fire to expand the use factor. Otherwise we would have gotten a 7" tablet like the Samsung or something similar! That said it would be nice if it had a camera.

And compared to the NC my daughter has, Amazon has so much great varieties of books that is FREE. Each day there's always something new. And I'm glad they partnered with Android OS.
B & N doesn't have the variety like Amazon. Thats IMO
