You can sell a $200 tablet, and the Fire is the first in that price range with Honeycomb on it,

Nope. The Kindle Fire is running Amazon's own fork of Android 2.3 ("Gingerbread") with a custom interface designed to more or less hide its androidness.

Running 2.3??? What crap.. In that case it is definitely nothing but smoke and mirrors.. a lot of folks are going to be disappointed.

Why anyone would buy a tablet with the PHONE version of the OS on it is beyond me.... You can buy those for $150 or less all day long.

If this is true, Kindle is nothing but a bunch of smoke and mirrors.. it’ll sell well innitially, but quickly fall off a cliff. 7” form factor AND 2.3??? Wow, that’s going to wear thin really fast.
