They're obviously not considering the cost of shipping, tax etc. Also, consider that Amazon are not actually shipping it to anywhere but the USA right now. Try ordering from their site.
All electronic equipment has been more expensive in the UK in my experience, this will be no different.
EDIT: Was wrong for the price for the other Kindle, it's actually £10 more. Joy,
The reason i brought this up was because of it's price and the possibilities of it not having a strapped bootloader making it possible to install the meego or Maemo os.

Dude, he's been trying to get as much airtime as possible, he has even made a reality show about pigeons!.
I'm sure this he'll also see this as another golden opportunity in his career...

Btw, shall we start another in-depth comparison between a smartphone and a tablet and pretend they occupy the same marketplace now?

.The marketplace is made up for the "desirable" not just a labelled device.

I'm a long time lurker on the forums and proud owner of a good ole n900.
I am very interested in obtaining an n9 out here in the US also if there is a possibility.

Maybe we should talk about how zauruses/zauris has similar directory structure of *nix based mainframes of yesteryears.

Mileage may vary, of course.
I don't think it's very likely that either OS will be installable. Every attempt to port MeeGo to another ARM device has been roadblocked by graphic drivers. This will very likely be a similar case. Unless it's Tegra 2...

We would need to know the kernel version of the Kindle Fire though.
Unfortunately, search results suggest OMAP4.
The price is good, regardless of the increase we'll be getting. It'll sell to families, that's for sure.
