Apple tries to hold its ground....

Apple is still trading higher on the day even though the Kindle Fire has been annuounced.  I know Apple's iPad is the pad of choice for those who can afford it, but I don't see how the Fire, priced $300 less than the iPad, is not going to hurt iPad sales.  The customers Apple just lost are the ones who were looking at a Kindle, which is just a book reader, vs. the iPad which does a little too much (camera, microphone, etc.).  Those on the fence will now be hard to convice to spend that extra $300 for the iPad.

Apple currently right at $400.00.  I would not be surprised to see it come under some pressure in the next few weeks.
