Dan Frommer on How Amazon Could Become a Tablet Player

Dan Frommer makes the case for Amazon as a potential tablet competitor. This tweet by Jeff Kibuule makes the case succinctly:

Amazon is the only other company than Apple with a complete ecosystem of movies, music, apps, and web.

And, of course, user accounts backed by credit cards.

One problem seemingly no one addresses in reviews of Android tablets is how one is supposed to, say, load them up with a movie or two for an airplane trip. Google has no answer for that. Amazon could.
