I have no idea what they are going to do, but I'm looking forward to seeing their vision. With the kindle Amazon decided that the important thing was acquiring books. This led them to add in a keyboard and Internet when it was slicker to leave the keyboard out and cut costs by removing cell service.
I'm not arguing that there keyboard is good or bad. My point is that Amazon doesn't try to copy everyone else. They will put out the device that promotes their needs. They are signing a lot of video deals these days and already include free downloads with amazon prime. Then there is their cloud music product. I expect this to be a media consumption device with music, video, books and apps. Possibly bundled with Prime membership and with cellular data access??? possibly linked to an Amazon credit card for easy purchases.
They will add in the features they think that vision requires. Again, I'm not saying those decisions will be good or bad, just that it will not necessarily be the same as everyone else's tablet. I for one hope it comes with the new android OS (ice-cream sandwich?)
