This man is a genius, and an example of success after a difficult childhood. I get inspired to keep going and reach my goals in life. Thank you Jeff! Waiting not so patiently for my end of the year bonus to get my Kindle Fire. Congratulations to Amazon!

@iRibz apple only invites fanboys from press, amazon invited homepages/magazines who send whoever they wanted ;)

I wish I could speed up the video 2x. He would then be speaking at a normal rate.

Yea I watched it half way through. Maybe I'll come back but it didn't have that much energy. I love Jeff and he is doing great being an awesome guy, but I hope he will get even better over time.

Wait, so this *isn't* an Apple event?

@syafiqyazid Yes... if all of my stuff is located in the cloud and I wanted to access a movie or a song, I would have to be in a FREE wifi area (emphasis on the free, cause I don't want to pay for it). So I would have to wait to watch a movie or listen to music. They should have done what the iPad did and gave the option for 3G capability. Make sense now?

@coolfusion33 Yo antes era como tú, pero era por falta de datos, desde tiempos de los trogloditas yo como humano veo nuestras progresión hasta niveles que vaticinaba la ciencia ficción,pero la realidad es muy diferente me temo,me ha costado tiempo asimilar esto pero si es lo que hay más vale saber y adaptarse lo antes posible. Tenemos muchas crisis entre manos, pero la que más miedo que me da es la relacionada con la energía y con los aumentos de población. Te recomiendo el reportaje Blind Spot.

What about the battery? 4 hours, 7hours or 12hours?

I know some engineers in Germany developing these days a battery, running longtime 50 hours and full charging in 3 minutes. When it is ready, this mobile device become an option to me.

I guess they finally satisfied those junkies (non-readers) that rant against how the kindle needed touch and color: well here you go. I'm getting black and white 3g touch, books are better than games,tv,movies,music,and web-browsing combined. (plus the kindle fire's battery life sucks-just saying)

*plus eyestrain,cough.

Kindle Touch 3g FTW!!!
