Interesting set of *four* new Amazon products:
Kindle Fire (no 3G) for $199;
Kindle Touch (no 3G) for $99;
Kindle Touch 3G for $149;
Kindle for $79.
Notes: no camera on the Fire (tablet), but has a "split" browser: some computation on AWS/EC2 .. basically a proxy server I bet. It has 8GB storage but no SD card slot. So they really went low-ball to hit an interesting price point.
Looking at the smaller tablets, I'd actually consider dumping a cell phone if it had a 3G capability and a phone app. But the no-camera is a bit of a problem.
