Any else FIREd up? Amazon's new tablets look great! - sekker - 09-06-2012
I especially love the $50/year LTE option.
Isn't competition great? Would be awesome to find ways to get data costs down for all of us.

It would be nice but I'm not holding my breath unless Apple gets it's own network

I dunno, has the kindle fire really found a market besides curious geeks?

22% of the market or 5 million units is nothing to snoot at

I'd probably blow through the 250MB per month in a few days.

there are many of us on the ATT 200MB plan that have learned to live well within that mean. in fact, for how i use my iPad that would be more than enough. that being said, i'd love to only pay $50 a year for such relatively limited access.

I hope this puts some pressure on Apple to reduce iPad prices by $100 for the next model

Amazon is being very aggressive. I like the HD version but the Paperwhite is intriguing.

Will the term "LTE" will never connect with consumers?
Any product that has a bunch of letters, instead of meaningful words, after the name, is just another product with some letters added on, and is indistinguishable from hundreds of other unmemorable products with unnecessary letters associated with it. People are busy, and don't care to decode them.
On the other hand, if they're trying to promote a course in "bad branding techniques 101", it's a good example!

Most consumers think they know what LTE means, and at the moment they think it means they want it.
