Kindle Fire

  • 7” widescreen size.
  • Specialized (locked down and forked) version of Android (around 2.1).
  • Direct access to Amazon’s content and services only. Including Amazon’s Android App Store only. 
  • Multi-touch, but reports say that it’s only 2 contact multi-touch not 5 like the iPad.
  • Wifi only… for now.
  • $199!

As I stated previously, it’s a very tempting tablet device. Again, I don’t think it’s a threat to the iPad.

I think the lack of a more expansive multi-touch contact surface and the size completely tosses out the idea of using it for content creation. But I’m sure that’s what Amazon was going for.

Content consumption. Lots and lots of consumption.
