Can Amazon's Fire extinguish the iPad mini?

[karl]

Amazon has launched a budget £159 tablet it hopes can take on the iPad mini.
The Fire HD tablet, which is based on Google's Android software, has a 7inch touchscreen and is linked to Amazon's own app, music and book store.
It will go head to head with Apple's £269 iPad mini, which is launched next week, and Google's £159 Nexus 7 tablet.

I think the iPad will probably surpass the competitors. The Android operating system has more problems than iOS, it always has.

I am a bit of an apple freak, I have an IPhone and a MacBook(only for DJ-ing) but to be fair I think the apple product will always be superior. I find apple's products far easier to use and just generally better to use. So I don't think the amazon tablet will be much competition, it will be like HTC or iPhone, most would choose iPhone. That's just my opinion though others hate IOS.
