I wasn't aware that they were comparable devices. I most certainly don't consider my tablet as a replacement/alternative to my phone, it's more of a general family device (otherwise known as Couch Surfing).
Mileage may vary, of course.
I don't think it's very likely that either OS will be installable. Every attempt to port MeeGo to another ARM device has been roadblocked by graphic drivers. This will very likely be a similar case. Unless it's Tegra 2...

We would need to know the kernel version of the Kindle Fire though.
Unfortunately, search results suggest OMAP4.
The price is good, regardless of the increase we'll be getting. It'll sell to families, that's for sure.
Does not support 2g or 3g and has a 1GHz TI OMAP dual-core with 512mb ram.

I was following the thread and saw the opportunity to maybe obtain one at a reasonable price in the US. I decided to finally sign up since that was easiest way to connect. Sorry if that is something frowned upon, please let me know.

Does not support 2g or 3g and has a 1ghz duel cpu with 512mb ram.
If the tablet had 3G, I'd probably buy it. It could be useful on the train.

I just wish it had telephone capabilities, if it had of done it would have been a deal breaker of all time !!.
I am totally pissed off with Nokia because the last 3 devices they have brought out has now ceased to have support and like you i am looking for something i can use on a daily basis that actually has support going for it.
N900 no support N9 no support N950 no support and not even available to the general public.
All are overpriced by a long way (apart from the N950 being a developers freeby) and people pay magnitudes to end up with no support? very very bad in my opinion.
Looks like all we have to look forward to now is WP and for sure at least THAT will have support because of the Microsoft element.

Here is the best writeup i can find for the Kindle Fire.
http://www.techlicious.com/blog/the-...-kindle-fire/#
"The Amazon Kindle Fire will ship on November 15th and is available for pre-order today."

Yeah, I'm not even going to address that.
Maybe we should talk about how zauruses/zauris has similar directory structure of *nix based mainframes of yesteryears.

...so, it CAN replace it. It just depends on the individual, form factor, compatibility, support and so on.
