#3I'm starting to think there must be 2 products on the market right now called the 'Amazon Kindle Fire' - this very enjoyable one I picked up and this other one that all these blog posts are complaining about.

Having just received one for Christmas I too find the Kindle Fire quite enjoyable. Yes it could use some polishing, could possibly be the fact that it's running an older version of Android.

#10Funny that anybody can think there is a first mover advantage in this market when tablets have been shipping and failing for about 30 years now, the idea itself is over 50 years old, and some directly related patents are over 100 years old!
The secret to Apple's success is obviously their zen-like patience and restraint.
