I don't agree with that posting. Amazon is going after a totally different market. The Kindle Fire will be no where near as elegant and trendy as an Apple iPad. They are for totally different purposes.


The number of people who will buy a Kindle Fire instead of an iPad is a lot smaller than the number who will buy one instead of a Kindle, or instead of nothing.
