Keep in mind, the $200 Nexus 7 is the same price as the Fire and also comes with 1280x800 display, Tegra 3 quad-core processor, front facing camera, microphone, GPS, NFC, gyroscope, bluetooth which the Fire doesn't have. This isn't a premium tablet but there's a lot of hardware packed given the price point. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 at $249 is the Nexus 7's closest competition and does come with an expansion slot. However, it only has 1024x600 display, OMAP4 1GHz dual-core processor and 8GB vs the 16GB on the $250 Nexus 7 model. To get to the $200 price point, something had to give.
