Kindle Fire or Win8 Tablet?

---

Who is going to wait for the rumored Windows 8 OS on a Tablet?

Wish I could wait, but I must have the Fire. Maybe someone will get W8 running on the Fire, but with only 8GB to play with, it would be pretty crippled.

I am inclined to wait for Win8 but this Metro theme has me a little worried.

Windows 8 isn't open source so it wont be on the Kindle.

I think it will be a while before win 8 is finalized and ready to be shipped, (at least 6 months imo) I want win 8, but there's no way I can wait that long. Plus there is no way anything will compete with the Kindles price tag

Having a rooted NC eliminates any desire or need for the AF. Am curiously watching the development of Win8 though.

Agree with the above that it's extremely unlikely the AF can or will run Win8.

I highly doubt we'll see a Windows 8 tablet at $199.

Very true, unless the Win8 tablet were wi-fi only. Also, waiting on Win8 tablets will allow time for development on the Kindle Fire to ramp up.

Anyone see the lenovo? 250 for16gb gingerbread, and Google access.
I apologize for posting in the wrong thread. Scrolled down and found one dedicated to the a1.

Looked up the lenovo A1 and from the specs I'd go with the Kindle Fire.

Let's all keep in mind that as of right now, the AF cannot really be considered an "android tablet" but more a "dedicated e-reader running android". That is if/until it is rooted by some of the marvelous devs on XDA.

Semantics I know but it's the way I see it.
