Two comments so far and they all have been voted down and theres nothing that they posted that would warrant that. Odd...

The Playbook and the Kindle Fire have the same form factor and look about the same but from what I've read, the Playbook has more storage,ram and a few more inputs and outputs than the Kindle Fire.

People are really retarded with the voting down thing - I gave you an up to account for the down you had.

It's like Android. OpenSource is what makes something takes off. By releasing the source code for Kindle this early on, Amazon will spark more interest from the hacker communities.

The processor is a slower version as well (both dual core 1ghz, but the Playbook's packs more punch)

Any way to put Amazon's OS on the nook?

That would be fun.

I don't know why people are out to get Blackberry, nothing but negativity toward them in the media and it is totally unwarranted.

But anyway I see the Asus Transformer going on sale for $249, thinking about getting that instead...good idea?

That's a great price for a Asus Transformer, it'll be much faster than a Kindle
