Like the guy who built a house with nothing but a swiss army knife - sounds crazy, but some folks do crazy things <shrug> Or maybe she's cheating - using a bluetooth keyboard, or dictating into an app??
Re. the Kindle Fire, if Amazon would sell me one I'd buy one in a heartbeat, and I'd ditch it equally fast if Apple made a ~7" iPad, for all the usual reasons - integration with my existing devices and services, Apple's eco-system, familiarity of the device/OS etc.. etc.. |

I haven't been able to see a Kindle Fire yet, because they're still not available in the UK, where I have my Amazon account.
I haven't up till now really wanted a tablet yet, but I may have need of one later this year. I'll probably go for an iPad3, but if Amazon had a 9 or 10-inch tablet I might well prefer it. Does anyone know anything about Amazon planned launches? KF in UK? Bigger tablet anywhere? |

I'm sure someone knows but they work for Amazon and they aren't talking. Frankly, I suspect the localization issues are mainly legal dealing with copyrights. Rumors abound about a 10" Kindle Fire in the next few months but I remain skeptical about its potential success.

Depends. I like my KF, but faster response + apple infrastructure + low price would get me to switch. However, the size of the KF is as large as I can deal with for a tablet. It fits in a sport coat pocket. I'm not interested in anything even 10% larger.
My KF is not a member of my family or a puppy. If Apple or anyone else offers me a better business proposition, I will take it. |

... seems there's another update on the 7" iPad rumour ... LED manufacturers confirming an "iPad mini" coming in Q3 2012: http://www.oled-display.net/apple-ip...future-ipads/#

... hehe, well, as far as rumours go, of course.
But it stays interesting. Nevertheless, when they want to sell 100 million iPads, adding the 7" model makes sense, I guess. Best regards, Andy |

NO - I have worked to get all the extra little add-ons for the Kindle Fire and it is doing just fine for me.
