My recollection is that he said that he's not interested in going into Apple's space (or words to that effect). After the iPad was released, there were a lot of comparisons going around, and he was trying to counter the idea that the Kindle and iPad were competitors.
Frankly, I think Bezos is smarter than to take Apple on in the tablet space. Amazon is a great company, but companies with more technical prowess than Amazon have tried to go against Apple, and they've all (so far) ended up flat on their a**es, in terms of sales.
