Amazon Kindle Fire sales near 100,000 on first day

According to one digital marketing firm, eDataSource, sales of the cloud-based Amazon Kindle Fire Android-basedĀ tablet have reached 95,000 in its first day on the marketĀ (all of those sales being pre-orders). I am sure this has a lot to do with the pricetag being $199. Time will tell if Apple has anything to worry about here, but so far this is only 1 third of the sales of the first generation iPad sold on the first day back in 2010.

Cnet has an interesting review of the Kindle Fire here: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-18438_7-20113364-82/kindle-fires-shortcomings-little-storage-no-bluetooth/

i may pick one up if i can to see how readable the screen is for documenation reading and the like. If i do, i’ll post a review and some pics for your enjoyment.
