Hey all I'm an AVID Android fan who is looking to get his 56 year old mother a lower end Android tablet. I gave her my iPad1 when I got my Asus TF but it was confusing for her having that then her phone being an Incredible so I want to get her an Android one. She is an Amazon Prime member and always uses it for everything and already has had a kindle for a few years so I figured the Kindle Fire is a natural fit. But I saw you can get an Acer Iconia 8GB 7" for $250 at a few places so it made me wonder if its worth spending the extra $50 so she can get a camera front and back to Skype my sister and I with and additional storage with MicroSD. The Kindle Fire looks like it is much easier to use than Android 3.0 for sure and I don't know how much she'd actually use the cameras because she has a Macbook to use for that. I'm leaning towards the Fire but I just need a little convincing to push over the edge. Is the UI and Amazon experience worth the lack of some basic features and Google apps?
