I had to go back and look at his Fire review. I think he was pretty honest about the weak points between the Fire and iPad. He did (IMHO properly) call the Fire a pure media consumption device instead of a full fledged tablet which I think is fair. Though with the rising capabilities of all these devices, the lines between categories are very blurry now.

It will be interesting to see if the Nexus 7 actually spurs more Android developers to write proper tablet apps. There are some fantastic iPad only apps that are near desktop quality in what you can get done with them.
