If I may ask, why is the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet getting so much hype? Are there not other 7" Android tablets on the market? !AndroidBronies !TechPonies

@leonkfox Because unlike the rest of the crap tablets flooding the market, the Kindle Fire is A) Well built B) Well priced and C) Well supported. The iPad is only two of those, so the consensus is that the Fire has a real chance in the market.

@ladestitute I'll use whatever tools are most functional for me. At the moment, in the tablet space, that's the iPad. The Kindle Fire is the first device I've seen that has a real chance to change that. That's why people are excited about it.

@ladestitute why? do you hate their products for what they are? or do you dislike their exclusivity policies?

@ceruleanspark Supprorted? I take it you mean applications etc? And I take it the one the iPad is excempt from is being well priced?
-
@leonkfox Yeah. I mean applications and having a manufacturer who actually cares about the device beyond just dumping it into stores. In 6 months time, Amazon won't be trying to sell you some other newer tablet. They'll be updating this one in the hope that you'll use it to buy more stuff from them, which is the same direction Apple approaches updates from, and notably, HTC, Motorola et al, are not,

@ceruleanspark I know Motorola and Samsung have made a wide array of tablets, but didn't htc only make the Flyer? How has it not been supported?

@rotation I think 7" is the perfect size for a tablet (I've tried the BlackBerry Playbook and a few other 7 inch tablets) tablets like the iPad are much too big to type on comfortably wthout laying it down on a desk, at least for me personally.
