I really think it's the software that needs an update not the hardware. Undecided

Totally disagree.

Kindle - Great
Kindle - Cheapo............. Cheapo
Kindle Touch........ Knows the tune but still learning the words
Kindle Fire..... Love it to bits, but Quad Core + Better Res + more Memory + Expandable etc (would love it even more)

Software is only as good as the hardware that runs it - FACT

You see to me, for the price the tablet is retailing for, the specs are pretty much where they should be. I mean, like you said, it would greatly improve the device to have a higher resolution display and perhaps a quad instead of a (dual?) core processor but the software - to me - looks absolutely awful. Both aestetically and navigation wise. It's very Kindle-esque but I think significant improvements could be made..
