Kindle Fire
The Kindle Fire is a tablet computer version of Amazon.com's Kindle e-book reader. Announced on 28 September 2011, the Kindle Fire has a color 7" multi-touch display with IPS technology and runs a forked version of Google's Android operating system. The device—which includes access to the Amazon Appstore, (but not to Google's Android Market) streaming movies and TV shows, and Kindle's e-books—was released on November 15, 2011.
The Kindle Fire retails for US$199. Estimates of the device's initial bill of materials ranged from $150 to $190,with one analyst estimating a total production cost of $201.70.Analysts have projected the device to be a strong competitor to Apple's iPad, and that other Android device makers will suffer lost sales.Amazon's business strategy is to make money on the selling of digital
content on the Fire, rather than through the device itself.
The Kindle Fire's external dimensions are 7.5×4.7×0.45 inch (190×120×11 mm),with the visible area of the screen a little smaller than a standard 4×6" photograph.
Customers began receiving their Kindle Fires on November 15, 2011,
and in the following December, customers purchased over 1 million Kindle
devices per week.Analysts had estimated that over 6 million Amazon Kindle Fire tablets would be sold in the fourth quarter of 2011.Kindle Fire:http://amazon-kindle-fire-spec.blogspot.com/
