I need something to keep me entertained while I sit in a hotel room when I travel for work

The 10s look awkward though. The people with ipads look like they are having issues using them and end up almost resting them like laptops. Might as well get a similarly priced and sized laptop that is better and faster.

Galaxy tab 8.9 may be the way to go.

I have to agree, an 8 or 9 inch may be the way to go. My wife has the IPad it is a pain because of its size my G Tab is easy enough to carry but has poor screen space and is limited by Android 2.2 ( I do use the hell out of the Kindle Software with it though) I am waiting till after christmas then assessing what is out there.

I'm curious, but not very optimistic. Some of the specs seem down, though at 199, that's about expected. I kind of wonder how Amazon's overlay will screw with the device. 2.3 is disappointing. If your going to create a tablet, why wouldn't you use a tablet optimized OS? This looks like something that's going to have limited functionality unless you root it, and I'm at the end of having to dick around with shit to make it work right and hope the solutions aren't just half assed patches.

I preordered one. I love my kindle, and have been hoping they would do something like this for a while. 3g Whispernet is awesome, and im interested in seeing the Fires capabilities.

This one is not 3G though, I am holding off for a 3G version. It would be killer to have the fire and free 3g.

It will be when I replace the network adapter from my kindle to the fire. They should be using the same ones, and the one out of the kindle is removable.

If it doesnt fit, oh well.
