Speculation. If and when it actually happens, let me know.
kthx
Free 3g access? That's pushing it. I don't doubt that Amazon will eventually release an Android device, but expectations must remain reasonable.
Like I said in the article, they already do provide free 3g in Kindle devices to buy books. They also provide free 3g to browse the web, although the browser is quite hard to use.
This model easily works for apps the same as it does for books - by using apps sales proceeds to subsidize the connection cost.
Yes, but look at the carriers. Depending on your device (Blackberry, Android, iPhone), the price of 3g varies. This is because some devices (Android, iPhone) are much more likely to consume more data. The Kindle could get away with free 3g because of how limited it was. A full fledged Android device would be able to call, tether, watch movies, play music, play games, etc easily. People are starting to replace their internet connections with 3g. If you price it at free, you won't make that money back.
And this store is even worse than the apple and google store. Eeehhhh.
But from other hand they will have pressure from "I bought this tablet and it can't browse internet" customers.
They will, but it's a manageable problem. Amazon could include some small amount of web browsing, like the already do on current Kidnle devices, with which you can already browse the web for free.
They say this every time a new Android device comes lit with a big name on it. They have been wrong every time. I'd like for someone to be right so that there is actually a tablet market, but until then, this is just another guy making the same failed prediction.
I like how the proof isn't proof -at all-.
Proof may be a poor choice words. What word would be better? "Sources"?
'Evidence' would just barely squeak by, but even that seems strong for the facts provided.
