I think the Kindle Fire is a huge winner, but I see that Nook Color has an advantage over both the iPad 2 and the Kindle Fire with one pretty significant feature:  Expandable storage.  The Nook Color has an SD Card slots that can take SD card of up to 32GB.  I have used that feature a lot in both Android program development and general file access.  Even though the iPad2 has up to 64GB, from this article, it appears there is not way to expand it.  This is another area where the Kindle Fire comes up short.  If the Nook Color and/or Kindle Fire come up with a way to attach external storage, a microphone and/or a camera via the USB and/or Bluetooth ports, they will be adding something great to their products.  Of course, the Nook Color and Kindle Fire have the added advantages over the iPad2 of price, Android, and not being from Apple.
