Amazon takes center stage again for technology investors. The rock-bottom price of the new Kindle Fire tablet computer is raising questions about Amazon.com’s ability to keep up with demand and the device's effect on the company's already razor-thin profit margins, analysts told Reuters.
My guess is the guys who are questioning the low price of the Kindle Fire are Apple shareholders.
To me, it's just like the price of laptop computers. You can go buy an Acer computer for under $500. The same capability computer (memory-wise) from Apple is around $1,200. Sure, the Apple Mac-book pro looks nicer and has a bunch of extra (unnecessary) features, but c'mon $1200??? At some point, a lackluster economy wiil force consumers (even the cool ones) to tone down their spending habits.
