Amazon Kindle Tablet: $250, 7-inches, Android-based, available in November? | This is my next...

I've wanted to get into the Android development world for a while now; it is a natural fit since I work in Java, using Eclipse and that has a very natural synergy with the Android world.

Combine that with my love of the Kindle platform, this might be a good way to kill two birds with one stone. I've enjoyed my Kindle 3, but I feel it cut too many quality corners and overall, has a relatively cheap feel. (I've had to replace it under warranty, as well as my cover which caused CPU brown-outs when the connectors were shorting out).

Here is hoping that the rumored Amazon Kindle Tablet doesn't try to aim at the lowest priced segment of the market -- I'm willing to pay for quality!

The next two months should be very, very interesting.

I hit this point over the last year and finally had the guts to make a major change. Yes, I bought a Mac Book Pro. Some background: I've been a Windows (and DOS before that) user since roughly the 5th grade (that would be 1984/1985-ish, eeek) and part time Linux user on and off since 1994.  Other than two years in college, I've used those platforms (and a little Solaris) exclusively -- that's 25 years of experience.  Twenty-five years of learning shortcuts, time savings, and overall comfort on a computing platform. All that experience, shaken up and shelved for now.  Well, sorta.  This is what I think so far: Pros: I LOVE the hardware.  Seriously. Dual video cards (one for low power, one for high performance) Upwards to 8 hours of battery life...
