This little device is effectively a SHOPPING MALL in a tablet... even the theaters! ...and they didn't exclude the rest of the Android devices they don't make because you can still do all of that on far more expensive devices too. But this will ABSOLUTELY kindle interest in the people who didn't want to spend $400+ for good quality tablets.

Mind you, all of this I can already do on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7-inch Tablet with Amazon MP3, Amazon.com, Amazon App Store applications as well as interactions over the web but this opens up their entire online mall with a $200 price-point device which will EASILY make them far more accessible to the rest of the people that didn't want to spend a lot.

ACCESSIBILITY, BABY!
