Looks like Amazon is taking Barnes and Noble's competition to heart and is fighting back with directly competing hardware. They have announced today the Kindle Touch and the Kindle Fire, a color tablet reader with features that directly compete with the Nook Color. They are also including free cloud storage and the movie and TV streaming that comes with their Amazon Prime membership.

Barnes and Noble better get moving with their Nook Color 2, looks like the competition just got tighter.

(PS: just to clarify, I am a happy owner of a Nook Simple Touch and Nook Color. I just thought this was very interesting to see Amazon hitting back so hard at the competition.)
