The nice thing about the very imperfect Fire, which will hopefully be improved over the next few months, let alone the next few years, is that it begins to sketch out the place in between iPads and phones, just like iPads sketched out a place between phones and laptops. This isn’t an iPad killer; that’s like asking whether a Holiday Inn is a Four Seasons killer and putting it down if it isn’t. It’s a new piece of real estate entirely. (Monkey See : NPR)
