For the past several months I have been saying (every time a tablet has been released to compete with the iPad) that most companies in the tablet market were being foolish because they were trying to beat Apple on Apple's terms. I said several times that I thought that, with $100 no-name tablet/ebook-readers/media players already on the market, some of these companies should have been targeting a $200 to $300 price-point even if it meant that the system was far less advanced ... When I read about the Kindle Fire I thought "Finally someone gets it!"
While I could be wrong, I think there is a massive market of people who are interested in an ebook reader and could be upsold to a $199 tablet or people who are interested in a tablet that are waiting for them to fall below $300. Even as a gift the Kindle Fire seems to be in a fairly ideal position, after all the number of people who could justify giving someone a $200 device as a gift is far greater than the number of people who can justify giving someone a $500+ device as a gift.
I may come to regret this, but I could easily see the kindle fire becomming the best selling tablet on the market
