I'm not annoyed by fans, regular folks sitting in the stands waving a giant finger. It's the nuts that paint themselves team colors and attack without provocation. Fan might be short for Fanatic, but the connotation is very different.

Funny how the Fire is getting attacked from both sides. Apple fans attack Amazon for threatening Apple's dominance (whether it's true or not), and Android zealots view Amazon as some sort of Android Judas.

I'm not sure if you think this thread is anti-Amazon or not, but I certainly don't view it that way. I've been looking forward to Amazon's entry for some time, and I'm still interested in next year's hollywood tab and another that doesn't have a codename yet.
To some extent, the fire was a rush job and possibly more outsourced than usual. Amazon needed something out for the holidays. I'll be interested to see how they deal with upgrades like ICS, with sideloading and bootloaders as well as what they do with hardware when they have more time and more involvement.
