Will tablets soon be free? Let's start with the Kindle Fire

Summary: By this time next year, even Wi-Fi enabled non-Amazon tablets will be severely subsidized so that users are sucked in and hooked to cloud-based services

Amazon finally unveiled its tablet offering: the Kindle Fire. The Fire is selling for $199 and comes with access to over 18 million movies, TV shows, songs, apps, games, books, magazines, and the web. Also, if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can enjoy over 100,000 movies and TV shows instantly.

The above reads like a great services offering, and the services themselves are nothing new to Amazon. So, why is the Kindle Fire a possible iPad killer, and why could tablets be free?

As soon as I determine that the Kindle fire is as good for reading ebooks as the simple kindle, I will be purchasing one. It is perfect for my needs.

Don't know about free, but it is possible that may happen.

In Thailand for sure. Yingluck promised it!
