Looks like they could shake the market up. Does make for some interesting comparisons come October with the iPad Mini announcement

Wonder if they will bother releasing this one in the UK?

The big question is are they going to allow all the UK apps now? Currently you can't get the likes of iPlayer, SkyGo etc on the Amazon marketplace.

Do people still think there will be an iPad Mini announcement? I'm not convinced...

I think it will be the start of Apple's downfall if they bring out things like an iPad mini.

The new phone will obviously be bigger, no point in a mini.

Agreed.

Kindle have made a 9 inch tablet because, like Apple, they know a 9-10 inch screen is the perfect size.

The nexus 7 isn't popular because its 7 inches it's popular because it's £150.

All I'm saying is id be very surprised if the IPad mini rumours are true.

Interesting to see that the Fire HD has advertising by default that at first you couldn't disable. Amazon have now backed down and said for $15 you can turn them off.
