I am not able to locate dedicated topic for kindle Fire so opening the new one here ...

Kindle fire is in news lately and its most popular tablet after Ipad .... this is more popular due to $199 price tag ....

Kindle Fire shipping a day early for those who pre-ordered -- Engadget

Fire isn't as good as the graphite edition as it is having a color display and backlit.

Haha. Must be the holiday season. Just like during the firesale, the Touchpad outsold pretty much anything on the planet. What matters is how long these sales last.

Seems.. unlikely. Because of the nature of android, if they do release it, it will soon be available on all android devices which is not something Nokia would want.

Nokia maps are already available for Android devices, it is just that the official 'Nokia' version isn't.

There is no app right? Just the html5 applet

Locus + Map Tweak allows you to download and use the map of your choice on your Android phone, including Nokia (Ovi)

right. we would find out in a weeks time if the rumors are true and if they are, if the partnership would include navigation thing as well. in the end, Amazon might be more interested in having a places database instead of navigation as the market believes.
