Amazon's new Kindle Fire Tablet

Higher-Ed Gadget-Watchers React to Amazon's New 'Kindle Fire' Tablet

Today Amazon unveiled a new tablet computer, the company’s long-awaited competitor to Apple’s iPad. Though it won’t go on sale until November, some gadget-happy college professors and administrators are already speculating about the impact it will have on campuses.

The big surprise in today’s announcement was the tablet’s price: $199. That’s far less than the lowest-cost iPad, which sells for $499.
