And in other news, quarter of a century ago: Apple expects the emergence of PC clones to help Macintoshes, since it will only increase the fragmentation of competing ~open ecosystems.
Seriously, people will do on Kindles virtually the same type of stuff as on iPads (with the exception of camera-related functions of course; large part of which are a quickly forgotten toy with most people); that puts them in the same product category, that makes them rivals. Somewhat different Android variant doesn't change that - Amazon Appstore both draws from and benefits the wider Android ecosystem.
(but, of course Apple execs will downplay the threat - while, in private, they are most likely scared of the same thing which happened to Macs, what brought Apple almost to the brink of collapse in the 90s; and there might no return of the messiah this time around)
