When the Google Nexus 7 was introduced, the first thought on everyone's mind was that this tablet could be a "Kindle-Fire" killer; sure enough, Cowen analyst Kevin Kopelman has cut his estimate of Amazon Kindle Fire sales due to the new ASUS produced tablet and the mini Apple iPad...

There's no mini-iPad. Why base a forecast on a fictional product?

Amazone will sell 12M of Kindle fire? In this case Kindle fire must be very cheap or much better than N7 or both which I think is impossible.

However superior the N7 or the still unconfirmed iPad Mini are/will be in specs compared to the Fire, you have to remember that the majority of consumers are mostly unaware or uneducated of tech specs between electronics. On top of that, now that more and more people are starting to buy products online and Amazon being the massive online powerhouse that it is and it advertising the Fire on its main page (and NOT selling the N7, yet), there will still be people that will flock to buy the Fire as it is currently tied for the cheapest tablet and is arguably the best-advertised tablet out there.
Although I do agree $12M does seem a bit exaggerated. :I

JB is much better than iOS6, Google Now and Voice Search is way better than what iOS has to offer. Those features will be the main selling point for JB, and Kindle Fire will not have that even when they fork JB.
Google Play is getting better, user can have Amazone on their N7 easily too. And you say about advertizing here, do you know who is the the giant in the field?

if microsoft will also join the low end tablet amazon will be in great danger! they dont have an OS of its own! apple's mini ipad(if ever they make one) has an iOS, google's nexus as its android, and microsoft has its windows!
im thinking, the ipad mini will be irrelevant because the iPad 2 cost almost the same as the 7 inch tablets! but if apple wants a market on that part too... well another healthy competition! and we are the one benefiting from it!
