Video capabilities will be interesting. iPad can play some 3 full movies and still have battery life to spare.

#12Firstly, what kind of name is this. Kindle Fire? please. Also no integrated email? I agree, it could possibly be added to the amazon "ecosystem", i mean it is only $300, but still no email? Email messaging is too important today.

#13I keep on hearing the question: is the Fire an iPad killer? Perhaps it's just me, but the two devices seem to have very different purposes. The Fire may sell as well as an iPad, but that doesn't mean it's an iPad killer. Was the iPad a Kindle killer?
Was the iPad a Kindle killer?
It doesn't seem to have been, but no few people were predicting that it would be.
When in doubt, I take what people who are paid to write about the tech industry say and assume the opposite.

In an interview with Charlie Rose, Jeff Bezos said his vision for the Kindle is to be the best possible reading experience.
Being able to send/receive emails isnt a part of what they want the kindle to be. (Unless people start emailing books to each other.. I guess)
