Kindle Fire

Tweet

Amazon has just unveiled that they will be launching their new tablet computer - Kindle Fire by this November 15 in the US at a press conference in Manhattan. The device which is developed with a number of similar capabilities similar to an Android tablet and/or the more popular iPad2 will be attempting to pull the rug from beneath their competitors with their price which is believed to be going at least half the price cheaper. Good news? Cheaper as it may seem, it would probably stab Google Android tablet producers namely Research In Motion (RIM) Blackberry Playbook and Samsung - just to name a few. That said, the lower price point means that Amazon hasn't packed the device with specifications found in more expensive tablets. Because, while the 8GB device has a dual-core processor, it lacks other features, such as a camera, microphone, and 3G wireless access on its 7 inch screen (iPad2 has a 9.7 inch screen). However, the device offers people an inexpensive way to consume movies, music, books, and magazines streamed or downloaded through Amazon's cloud services, which is currently believed to have more than 18million movies, television programmes, songs, apps, games, books and magazines. Personally, I feel Amazon is just doing everything to keep its core of ebook readers and an answer to their rival's Nook Color (Barnes and Nobles) with this product. You can see that everything is Amazon including its Whispersync technology, which delivers digital books to the Kindle and now will also work with movies and television shows. The benefit here is that people will be able to view a movie or TV show on their home TV, pause it, and then pick up where they left off on their Kindle Fire, much like Netflix which allows people to do between its TV, PC, and mobile apps While early reviewers online are raving that it is the next competitor to iPad2 and other Android tablets, I feel that it is just merely a needle p.r.i.c.k. than a stab. A pull on the rug beneath? I doubt it. What do you think? Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2042790/Kindle-Fire-tablet-Amazons-iPad-rival-set-undercut-slice-Apple.html
