So how does the Amazon tablet distinguish itself from the Nook Color? I think you'll need to root an Amazon tablet to get the most out of it, just like the NC. You'll have the Amazon Video on Demand, but I can do that with the $100 Craig tablet I have now. Ditto for the Amazon App Store, and the music, etc. Obviously, Amazon will have these apps built in to any released tablet, but is that enough of a leg up to succeed?
And keep in mind: The Nook Color is being positioned as a color e-reader,
not a tablet. You can turn it
into a tablet, but that's not how it's marketed. So I think we need to ask the question: With Amazon's tablet be a color e-reader you can turn into a tablet, or a tablet on its own, out of the box? If it's a tablet out of the box, then it sounds to me like the Archos
tablets that have been around for a while. That's not necessarily a terrible thing, but one of the things they always get panned for is not running the full Android Market.
