Kindle Computer Deals and Best Sales

Shop Rite offers the Kindle Fire 7" Android Tablet for $179.95 with free shipping. That's the best deal we've ever for a new Kindle Fire by $9, excluding gift card bundles. (It's also $19 below what Amazon charges direct.) The Kindle Fire runs a heavily-modified version of Google's Android OS and sports a dual core processor and 7" 1024x600 IPS display. It has 8GB of internal storage, although the intent is to stream most content directly from Amazon Cloud Storage. It also lacks 3G support (WiFi is the only option). Deal ends after 2,000 sold.

After months of speculation, Apple has officially announced its third-generation iPad, but the real story in Wednesday's announcement was actually the iPad 2. At $399, it's the most discounted and aggressively-priced iPad ever. But this is just the beginning of what's to come, as retailers and tablet manufacturers will assuredly need to respond to Apple's price cut. So how cheap could the iPad 2 get? And how will it affect Android pricing?
