It looks like the old Kindle 3 wifi w/keyboard has dropped to $99.

Looks like they will still sell 'Kindle Keyboard' models for as little as $99, so:
wifi 139 wifi/SO 99 wifi+3G 189 wifi+3G/SO 139 Screen resolution of Fire is 1024x600, same as Nook Color. |

You can get the "button Kindle" with or without offers:

I may be misinterpreting something. Does the Kindle Fire have access to the web through WhisperNet? Or, does it only access the web through a WiFi connection?

OH YIKES. Looks like ALL of the prices in the press release are for the offer version! (not sure about the tablet.) Kindle Touch without offers is $139. That's kind of misleading!

One thing I do notice is that the "Keyboard" has only 2GB RAM, with 1.25GB available to the user. That's only 38% of the amount of RAM available on the current Kindles. |
