Hey! Don't start that,
I R an enginer!
(the reason I said what I did is that the poster claimed his status as an engineer for stating what he did and it clearly does not fit with the remainder of your post. Yes products are designed to appeal to customers, but the additional requirement is that they support the company goals of the company the engineer is designing for -- in this case Amazon and the Fire fits perfectly as well as meeting the needs of Amazon's customers. The post/poster in question clearly wants a different product and is confusing his personal requirements with the requirements of others.)
