    $200 without a contract is not going to buy a very high end Android phone. I suppose you could try used phones on Ebay maybe.

    An Xperia Play probably can't be had for $200.

    A Galaxy S2 is not an old phone either - in fact it is currently the fastest Android phone on the market. It will cost at best $500 (and likely more) off contract.

    It's not clear if the Kindle Fire can even sideload apps. Amazon has been extremely secretive on it.

    Of course, once its out, it will probably be hacked so perhaps that won't be a concern.

    Its running a customized version of android so I'm pretty sure you can run 3rd party apps.

    I hear there's a new Kindle out? Called the Flame or something? Starting at $199! I say grab you a nice tablet and enjoy this beautiful game even more!
    YES! My mom is actually ordering one for herself when it comes out. Ill probably play around with that before actually ordering one

    eBay—I just checked the recently completed listings for you, and there was one good condition iPad 2 that recently sold for $200 and then a couple more that sold at $220 and $230. OK, $200 is not technically "less than $200", but it's pretty close.

    Android has the ability to run apps, yes. That does not mean that Amazon may not impose artificial limitations though on their product. They would want to get sales via their App Store.

    I suspect that Amazon may be selling their hardware at a net loss or barely breakeven and then using the sales to make up for the costs.

    Thats what I have heard also. But someone will hack it so we can run full untouched android on the kFire and that is what I am banking on.
    Even so It wouldn't be that hard for Spacetime to submit the PL app to the amazon store because the kFire is running android

    I was just in radioshack today and without a contract it's $579. If I'm not mistaken this is way more than $200. :|

    Lolz why all the fuss? Just get urself a 7inch Galaxy Tab. It can act as a phone and is powered by froyo. U can always root it and get custom ROM to honeycomb, of course.
    The Galaxy Tab is ur best bet cuz of its large-enough screen. And its surprisingly affordable, too. the only downside is its short batt span. But it should last on Pl for minimum 3 2/1 hrs.
