Firstly, what kind of name is this. Kindle Fire? please. Also no integrated email? I agree, it could possibly be added to the amazon "ecosystem", i mean it is only $300, but still no email? Email messaging is too important today.

This isn't a computing device. It's an Amazon device. The Kindle doesn't do email either.
In an interview with Charlie Rose, Jeff Bezos said his vision for the Kindle is to be the best possible reading experience.

Being able to send/receive emails isnt a part of what they want the kindle to be. (Unless people start emailing books to each other.. I guess)
