While not an emerging technology - the business practice Amazon is fostering is new and will change the face of Tablet computing as an emerging technology.
The Amazon Kindle Fire is priced at a third the cost of other Android based tablets. The advantage to Amazon being they can afford to subsidize the tablet costs with expectations of selling content. Only Apple is in a position to compete in the tablet market in a same manner given they too offer content.
Where does this leave all other tablet makers ?? Who knows? Most will change up their model and be provider of hardware to Amazon or Apple but IMO most will fade away.
