What the Amazon Tablet Needs to Succeed

Quote:
By coming into the tablet market later than some major competitors, Amazon can learn from their experiences. It can borrow from the Barnes & Noble Nook Color, the Kindle, and the best of the other Android tablets out there—while finally, hopefully, adopting a somewhat subsidized (but carrier-free) pricing model that frees it from competing dollar-for-dollar with the iPad.

Here are seven things I think the Amazon tablet really needs to take off:
  • A $249 price
  • A one-handed design
  • A truly great screen for reading
  • The Honeycomb OS
  • Amazon Appstore for Honeycomb
  • WhisperNet
  • Stability, smooth performance and feature completeness
