  • Yeah, WSJ is owned by News Corp. http://t.co/MQ8dAQxO Wall Street Journal Revises Its #Privacy Policy #YRO #
  • The more I hear abot the Kindle Tablet, the more I think it is going to be a Nook Color ripoff. #
  • @toddbishop Interesting, most other sites are saying $250 for the Kindle Fire. in reply to toddbishop #
  • @toddbishop Yep, looks like the Nook Color. in reply to toddbishop #
  • The new Kindle Fire sounds ok. Nothing to really drool over, and definitely not an iPad killer. A few nice features to it though. #
  • Now start coming the statements of how the Kindle Fire will change the tablet market. Same thing has been said about HP, RIM, and others. #
  • For those wondering why I don't get some of the gadgets to review them, I don't get paid enough to do that, as much as I would like to. #
  • I have a challenge to @zdnet and tech reviewers. I dare you to give a true factual comparison of the Kindle to competitors. No Fawning. #
  • @thurrott If you look at all the specs, the Kindle Fire is more a competitor to the Nook color and not the iPad. in reply to thurrott #
  • @thurrott Not in my book. Smaller scren size, no 3G. More Apps than the Nook Color, but I don't see it denting the iPad market. in reply to thurrott #
  • anyone see if the Kindle Fire has an SD card slot? #
  • @Raithnor Well, they are dropping the price of the Kindle down to $79 but it will have Ads on it. Nook e-readers are dropping also. in reply to Raithnor #
  • @SujaAndersen got confirmation that it doesn't. in reply to SujaAndersen #
  • Definitely not seeing an SD card slot in the #KindleFire which is a shame. #
  • Interesting thought: RT @toddbishop: Will Microsoft get patent royalties from Amazon’s Kindle Fire? http://t.co/dAFi7lWS #
  • RT @TimelessP: RT @gcluley: The #browser in the #Amazon #Kindle #Fire is already ringing #privacy alarm bells http://t.co/HMWWYLxk #
