Amazon's Kindle Tablet will have no camera, e.g. And all predictions are that it will be #2 in the tablet market. Which would put the Nook Color at #3.

Apple has very good control of its supply-line. Both Amazon and Barnes & Noble have different business models, however: with them, it's all about the shopping. In fact, the inside rumor is that Amazon's Kindle Tablet will come with a free Amazon Prime account (free shipping; free streaming movies).
