Once the king of portable information, Amazon is ready to enter the tablet realm with the Kindle Fire. The Fire features a two-point multi-touch screen with a TI OMAP CPU at its core, apps for Amazon’s Android Appstore, Kindle store, Amazon MP3 and Prime Instant Video. Nearly all of Amazon’s recent news, Amazon Cloud Player, Amazon Cloud Drive, Kindle Cloud Reader, the streaming deals with Fox and NBCUniversal, were in preparation for the Fire. With these cloud services in place, the Kindle Fire is a legitimate iPad competitor. An official launch is set for November 15, with a pre-order now in effect through Amazon. Retail is set at $199 USD.
Stunning Color Touchscreen – Movies, magazines and children’s books come alive on a 7″ vibrant color touchscreen that delivers 16 million colors in high resolution. Kindle Fire uses IPS (in-plane switching) technology – similar technology to that used on the iPad – for an extra-wide viewing angle, perfect for sharing your screen with others.
