Agree with everything with one small nitpick:
"Leaked sales figures have it [Kindle Fire] outselling the iPad right now."
Not technically correct. The 'leaked sales figures' was a supposed internal screen shot showing 250k preorders over the first 5 days. What people did was use the same rate until Nov. 15th to extrapolate the mythical 2.5M preorders. Probably not going to happen.
The original iPad had 300k pre-orders to a market that didn't exist, and the iPad 2 wasn't available as a pre-order, but did sell close to 1M over the opening weekend.
