Looks like the 10.6 will be $199. Microsoft is taking the x box kindle approach And selling at a loss. Will be interesting to see how well it does. On a similar note microsoft owns 17 percent of barnes and noble nook, and surface will have a nook client along with a kindle I'm sure.
While this will not have the umpfff of the new ipad, it might not matter. The people I know that have a fire, are happy in that it runs what they want an need.
It will be interesting whatch. Amazon will probably lose some kindle sales but that isn't a bad thing. For me I want to see how well microslop will integrate business needs and office. None of the tablets have been suxesfull in this space.
