The Kindle Fire and other super-cheap tablets are reminding me of how the netbook craze began:

• Yep, it "does everything" a full size PC/tabel does, has all the features, all the checkmarks.
• Yep, it's dirt cheap.
• People buy it and then realize that:
• Yep, it's a cheap piece of junk and it is absolutely painful to use on a daily basis, and I hate touching it.

Sometimes you get what you pay for, but sometimes you get less, because you don't want to touch what you paid for.
