Amazon Kindle Fire Released: My Take

After tons of rumors, Amazon finally met our expectations and announced their Amazon Kindle Fire, a 7" Android based tablet. Despite my love for Apple, I'm very seriously considering picking up one of these. Why? And will this be the iPad killer? Watch for my opinion!



Ultimately, I don't think Amazon's Fire is trying to compete with the iPad. With a $199 price tag, the Fire is intended to be a media consuming device. That is the reason I'm interested in it! Since the tablet market emerged, I have wanted something small, cheap and simple to read books, browse websites and watch streaming content on. The only thing that turns me off a bit is your need to be an Amazon Prime member, which requires a yearly fee. What do YOU think of the Fire?
