I agree wholeheartedly about the need for lower pricing - Kindle seems like something that should cost much, much less than it does. If it was priced at $99, it would go from being an overpriced toy for well-off adults to being something that every parent buys for their children. Not sure how easy that is to make jibe with the prepaid cell data plan, though.
Also agree that seeing helps the Kindle a lot, as it does for most electronics, but especially something as display-centric as the Kindle.
Disagree about the SDK, though. The Kindle screen is godawful slow at refreshing, and I've not been impressed by the user interface - I can't imagine wanting to develop on it. What do you see it being useful for besides being able to say "We have an SDK!"?
- armandososa 17y agoI think Amazon should decouple those two prices. Like "Buy a Kindle for $99 and get 3G Access form $10/month". If Apple priced the iPad bundled with the cost of the data plan into it may be $1,000 with 1 year of "free" 3G.
