Here's some facts. Every Kindle has gone down in cost, and the KF is already a loss leader. Now, I've already mentioned that Android is moving away from having external SD cards , instead, the KF has an "internal non-removable SD card". This is a decision android and google and all have made to benefit the hardware developers as well as to remove some major issues that removable media causes in the Android OS.
I do not think the KF2 will have bluetooth, because that adds cost. It will not have GPS ever, because GPS basically adds $50-$90. It MAY someday get an FM chip or similar, but I doubt it, because it's purpose is to buy amazon stuff. It will NEVER get 3G. It will likely never get bluetooth.
AMZN is already losing money on each KF sold. The only way they could add GPS, and Bluetooth, and a mic, is to add $100-$150 to the final cost.. and even THEN they'll still be losing money.
