Kindle Fire Will Be Hotter Than iPad This Holiday 258
zacharye writes "Amazon's upcoming Kindle Fire could be the hottest tablet on the market this holiday season, with demand that may even surpass Apple's blockbuster slate, the iPad 2. Results from a recent survey published by electronics shopping guide Retrevo.com suggest that more consumers are interested in purchasing Amazon's upcoming tablet than Apple's tried and true iPad. As a result, the site speculates that the Kindle Fire represents Apple's first real competition in the tablet space."

It's an iPod touch. After two weeks, the back's going to be so scratched that you won't even know it was engraved....

The cheeseburger is tasty and delicious. The iPad is decidedly not.
If I drop a cheeseburger and it breaks, it only costs me $1.69 to replace it. The iPad? $500 and up!
I can put *any condiments I want* on my cheeseburger. The only apps I'm officially allowed to put on an iPad are dictated by the Apple store.
I can literally tear my cheeseburger in two and share it with a friend. The iPad is a one-user device.
The best thing about an iPad? I can stack well over a dozen cheeseburgers on it.

You must shop at a different MacDonalds than any I've tried :)
