    The Kindle Fire 2 will definitely be the most worthy contender to the new iPad. We saw what happened to the Touchpad and the Playbook…doesn’t seem anyone else is capable of competing with the iPad.

    I am undecided at this time but want something very quickly. I have ruled out the Nook. I would dump the IPAD in a heartbeat and get a Kindle if it came our with a camera with video capability and a Memory Card Slot 32-64GB.
