Had to have one...for $200 I couldn't resist.
I just bought the Blackberry Playbook from Staples special sale for $250 AR. The playbook is worth lot more than this tab which is coming from same supplier (Quantum Computer?). It even uses same casehousing but cheaper CPU,GPU, and no camera, no microphone, only 8GB storage. Why wait till November, get the Playbook now before the sale is gone 4ever.
On the other hand, Amazon is likely to be around for a while. Not so sure about RIM...
No memory card slot. No access to the Amazon Marketplace. Amazon Cloud Storage is for Amazon content ONLY. Not sure if the battery is user replaceable. Didn't know about the lack of a webcam as well.
looks like a seccessor to the nook color.
There is a microSD card slot.
#6: I don't think so; nothing in the stats references an SD card slot, micro or otherwise.
Look more like a Nook Color clone.

I'm not going to enjoy the customized Android 2.x OS, neither.
This is the truest thing I've heard all day

"Yeah at that price you can order 200$ Fire + 150$ Kindle Touch 3G + 100$ Kindle Touch + 80$ Entry Level Kindle = 530$
If you live in a non-Amazon tax state it's cheaper to buy their whole line than an entry level iPad!

Any word on a rootkit?
#3 RIM is about to become RIP
This is not their Android tablet that everyone was talking about i hope...
The kindle fire is not bad for $199. I bought one.
