Many people said the same thing about the iPad when it first came out. Some still do.
- ja2ke 15y agoThere is a difference though - the iPad was built by Apple to be bought as a piece of multipurpose hardware (once you buy it, Apple is happy, has made a profit from you) while the Fire was built by Amazon to be a cheap window into Amazon streaming content (once you buy it, all Amazon wants you to do is consume media, so they can make their money back).
