The new 7″ Kindle Fire $199.00

If you own an iPad, you will not need the Fire.

If you are looking for the DROID experience on a 7″ tablet, you have found the right device.

Supports Flash web browsing, video playback.

Uses the AMAZON APP Store.

Supports Netflix, Youtube, Hulu and many other video services

This is not an iPad killer.
Does not have a camera or microphone, GPS, or Cellular Data service, or bluetooth

It does have WIFI, and a Usb port, which is also used to charge the device

Overall, it is a good device to use and the price / value can’t be matched. If this is your first tablet, you will be pleased. If you are looking for a higher end tablet, nothing seems to be able to beat the iPad at this time.
