Skunks, Is it just me or has airtel finally opened up its 3G. Im in the CBD experiencing great speeds and even able to stream youtube. Then again a provider according to me is not fully rolled out until I get the same 3G in buru Buru and Umoj and on Jogoo Road.. Anyone on airtel let me know if you have the same experience. Kevin

It is only a matter of time before Amazon puts out a phone too. Eventually they will all have a tablet, a phone and a box that connects to your TV. Apple has iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Google has Android phones and tablets plus Google TV. Amazon will need to add the other two devices to compete. One of the features that Amazon is touting here is Whispersync which automatically synchronizes all your media (books, videos, music) between your different devices. That only makes sense if you have multiple Amazon devices. I agree that Samsung, HTC and the other pure hardware vendors are in serious trouble here. Apple and Amazon will always be able to undercut their pricing because they get more revenue from the content and services (music, video and book purchases/rentals, app store purchases...) than from the hardware. They can afford to sell the hardware at a loss while Samsung and HTC cannot.

I think the coolest feature is not the hardware or the price but Silk - the cloud based web browser that uses Amazon EC2 as a giant predictive cache/optimizer. Here is a short video that explains what it does: http://amazonsilk.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/introducing-amazon-silk/ The idea is that since everyone using the browser goes through the Amazon cloud back end Amazon can gather enough data to predict which page you will likely go to next so they can pre-fetch it before you click on the link. Not so sure how I feel about that from a privacy perspective but from a business perspective having all that usage data sets them up to compete with likes of Google in some interesting ways... Josh

Amazon Kindle Fire

Guys, This is just revolutionary. Who would have thought of a high end tablet at a 199 USD pricing point. And the specs are damn good...an IPS display with better resolution than ipad 2 among others. http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Color-Multi-touch-Display-Wi-Fi/dp/B0051VVOB2/… What are your thoughts, will it sell more units than the ipad ?
