Amazon Kindle Fire

After a months of speculation Amazon Kindle Fire has been announced at an event in New York. It’s a direct competitor to BlackBerrry’s Playbook and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 and as well as the iPad 2. The Amazon Kindle Fire is the next update to the already great Amazon Kindle that everyone know.

The Kindle Fire's reasonable price of $199, together with the potential of widespread Android app support, makes the device a competitor to other tablets out there in the market, it’s advantage is the amazon.com it’s we’re all the eBooks you want and more. The ability to install apps and do anything more with the tablet--handling email, sharing photos, and the like-- it makes me wonder whether the Kindle Fire is truly a “tablet” or just a content-playback machine with some extras.
