		<description><![CDATA[<!-- insert ads is firing -->The Amazon data plan would be fine for someone who doesn&#039;t need a smartphone or if Amazon&#039;s tablet could make calls, thereby making it a smartphone.  I have figured out that if I buy a smartphone, I can use it on a GoPhone smartphone plan and pay only $110 annually for 2.6 GB of data (that&#039;s two $25 purchases of 1 GB plus $5/mo for 50MB/mo).  The basic voice charges cost $25/mo for 250 mins and includes unlimited texting.  So it&#039;s a good idea to consider a big screen smartphone with a prepaid plan.  It all depends on how much you use of data, voice, and texts for all your devices. <iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=icr0c-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B008NA3HZY&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&npa=1&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

		<description><![CDATA[<!-- insert ads is firing -->Bingo.  The Fire will (pun intended) suck all the air out of the room for non-iPad tablets, with the Nexus line probably competing neck-to-neck.

I have to disagree with Bob, Amazon&#039;s LTE yearly pricing is quite innovative - I&#039;d buy that kind of bandwidth for my parents in a heartbeat.  Of course, I wouldn&#039;t place a Kindle Fire HD in my kid&#039;s hands anymore due to the Ads you can&#039;t turn off, but the &quot;Free Time&quot; kid countdown-to-locked controls look pretty neat too (and nowhere on iOS or Android).

Amazon has basically re-invigorated the yearly subscription with Amazon Prime and now their $50 LTE data plan. <iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=icr0c-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B008NA3HZY&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&npa=1&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

		<description><![CDATA[<!-- insert ads is firing -->I think the real institutional advantage that both Apple and Amazon (to a lesser degree) have is that they are the only two companies that have end-to-end media ecosystems that incorporate all devices in the home.  Amazon&#039;s ecosystem is less stable and more dependent on 3rd parties - which in this case is a negative for the consumer.  Microsoft could get there, but it would require breaking down walls in multiple product lines.  Going from adequate penetration in simply the lean-back television space and the pc/laptop sphere to adequate penetration in the phone and tablet space will be difficult give how MS has positioned themselves. <iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=icr0c-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B008NA3HZY&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&npa=1&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>
