Amazon is introducing a new tablet, the Kindle Fire, into the
marketplace. In some aspects it resembles the Blackberry Playbook, but
it has so much more to offer. The Kindle Fire has a sleeker design and
all of Amazon’s content behind it. Other tablets can’t really compete
with access to 18 million songs, books, apps, movies, TV shows, games
and magazines.
All of that is not free, but the tablet is designed to integrate
seamlessly with all of Amazon’s content. If you are an Amazon Prime
member you have access to 10,000 streaming movies and TV shows at no
extra cost.
The Kindle Fire, Full Color 7" Multi-touch Display, Wi-Fi
has a dual core processor and although it looks
nothing like a Google android tablet, the android apps work really
well. It has no system requirements because it is wireless. It has a 7
inch color touchscreen and all amazon content can be stored in the
cloud for free.

The introductory price of $199 reaches a much wider audience than the
other tablets on the market. One of the reasons the tablet can be
offered at such a low price is because it has 8GB of storage which is
about half of the base storage of other tablets. The Kindle Fire also
does not have the support of the 3G network, but it is WiFi capable.
You can use it in WiFi hotspots where you can stream movies, TV shows,
and other content from Amazon’s cloud.
The tablet also has a web browser so you can surf the web. Amazon is
using a new kind of browser called Amazon Silk. Amazon Silk is what
attaches the tablet to the cloud network. It is like a traditional
browser but it is faster.
As far creating content, the Kindle Fire does not have a camera or a
microphone. But it does let you email word documents and pdf documents
to your Kindle so you can read them anywhere, at any time.
The Kindle Fire is going to be direct competition for the Barnes
& Noble Nook. The Fire has more current hardware and a fluid
interface which makes it more appealing. It also supports Adobe Flash
Player which the Nook does not.
The Kindle Fire will offer a free one month trial of Amazon Prime
which normally costs $79 per year and includes access to 10,000 movies
and TV shows, and free 2 day shipping. At $199, the Kindle Fire is
going to give the other tablets on the market a run for their money.
