They couldn't sell me the Kindle Fire for 20 bucks with only 8 GB and no expansion options. 8 GB is fine for a dedicated reader, but for a tablet? One movie and some music and you are maxed out. The cloud would only work if they included unlimited 3G -- which obviously isn't feasible.

Would another $50 really matter? If expansion slots don't matter, why does every phone have one?
