It's becoming clear that the main competitor for iPad will come from Amazon. Apple will not be beat by a competitor on look and feel. Anyone who wants to compete with them will need to find their own area of strength. Amazon's strength is its years of experience with Amazon Web Services.
- ctdonath 16y agoRecall the article opining that Amazon will be giving away Kindles to Prime members by November 2011 (so far, price drops are on a straight line to $0 then, and when asked Bezos said "oh, you noticed?" and smiled). Maybe they are gearing up for an iPad-type model, laying the groundwork for users buying into disparate parts (streaming video, cloud storage, ebooks, etc.) so when the convergence arrives millions of customers will find themselves already living a ubiquitous Amazon life.
