edit It's worth mentioning that the linked article is itself speculation/extrapolation on a Digitimes rumor. Questionable. /edit

Google has some difficult questions ahead if Amazon starts making phones. It's questionable if anyone else can justify selling devices like these below cost - and even if anyone else could, Amazon has the most prominent storefront and a more complete content ecosystem.

Personally, after my experience with Android, I am completely uninterested in investing in an Android tablet. A Windows 8 tablet on the other hand with Microsoft actually in control of the software (which is what I understand they are doing) -- even if it only has a web brower, office and dropbox, I'm so there. Plus from what I understand Microsoft is making their App store free-software friendly, so maybe even emacs (smearmacs!) and latex.
