My wife loves her kindle fire. Perfect size to take with you and runs the popular apps people want all for less than half the price of an iPad. She could care less about a camera as who wants to look like an idiot trying to take a picture with a full size tablet.

Certainly something Apple will never be hearing any time soon, that's for sure.
Until the day comes that Apple releases a smaller tablet to compete with the Kindle Fire and other 7" class tablets and claim they thought of the idea and people flock like sheep and praise Apple for their innovation.
But is this like Nintendo's Wii "selling out" because the company limited shipments while having warehouses full of them, just so they could make "so popular we can't make enough of them and retailers can't keep them in stock" boasts?
They are switching over to the next generation so that is more than probably the reason why they are sold out, limited production. Plus they do sell fast since they hit the market, however I haven't seen one leave the store I'm at in awhile.
