If it is, it's likely that they're selling it at a loss, or they're leaving out some key features. I'm interested to see which way they go.

I think the tablet's set to be a big boon for Amazon, as they will be able to provide all the music & movies & apps. If it hits $250 or so, I'm in without too many questions. If it's $350 or over, I'm waiting for a future price drop.
Amazon could be going for the razor blade model since their books are on a proprietary format...also they can make the amazon store the default for movies, music, and apps.
