Bezos has a simple elegant idea to tie down the Fire to the Amazon cloud which works well for Amazon but since the Fire is only WiFi, you can't get to the cloud if you are away from WiFi. On that point, even Amazon is coming up short.

Which does not support your contention that it is "disappointing" at all. You clearly are wanting the Fire to be something it is not. The specs, functionality and price are perfect for what it is intended for. The Fire is already on target to be the best selling Kindle ever, I wouldn't call that "disappointing" at all.
