"Nothing there negates what I wrote about the Amazon Fire TV. . . and the laying off of engineers from Amazon. YOU confabulated it into Tablets, not me. I said nothing about their Kindle Tablets and e-Readers. YOU brought that into the discussion."

And yet again you are wrong: Your words from post 84 "It indicates a major re-allignment in Amazon's plans to concentrate on their core competency, retail, not developing hardware."

Unless you can convince us somehow that kindles and fire tablets and fire TVs are not "hardware" then you are proved wrong once again.

So you brought in the tablets and everything else with your FUD comment that Amazon is getting out of the hardware business.

And that my friend is once again:

game...

set...

and match...!

Again, you get it wrong, Mad Dawgg. What I have said is that Amazon may be stopping developing their OWN hardware. . . not that they will stop SELLING hardware with their name on it. I have explained this quite thoroughly. BUYING hardware from a third-party manufacturer who is willing to put Amazon's Kindle Brand and Name on it is easy. It doesn't mean that Amazon designed or Developed it. If it produces the product they need at the price point they want for the cost they are willing to pay, great. Lots of companies do it including Google, BestBuy, Sears (Kenmore brand Appliances and Craftsman tools), RCA, GE, and many others do it for their low end products. Why do you seem to think that Amazon is immune?
