5:09 AM - Amazon Will Launch Its Tablet Kindle Fire Soon

It is said that Amazon will launch the long-awaited Android tablet on Wednesday. It is expected to become the biggest competitor of Apple iPad. TechCrunch reports that the tablet will be named "Kindle Fire". According to rumors, Kindle Fire looks like improved BlackBerry PlayBook. The Tablet will run Android software. However, Amazon will use their skin to provide a unique experience and make it different with other Android Tablet. It said Amazon will release it on Wednesday, but until Christmas shopping season in Nov, we can see it in the market, so many people think that Amazon launches its Kindle Fire before the Christmas shopping season on purpose to grab the limelight of iPhone5.

Because of the great temptation in Tablet market, Amazon, the largest Internet retailer in the world is coveted to pick up a little benefit from it too. Now Kindle Fire is about to release, however, some experts point out that with consumers becoming more rational, Tablet's boom is rapidly waning. They said the Tablet that is lack of useful features is not good enough compared to a smart phone, we can see that from other Tablets, whether Samsung or Motorola, or Acer, they all didn't get any benefits from Tablet market which is dominated by Apple iPad. Followed by these companies, the BlackBerry maker RIM has joined the ranks too, but the company's PlayBook Tablet only sold 20 hundred thousand units in three months. And HP TouchPad Tablet, which lunched this year was forced to give up because of poor achievement.

Some analysts believe that, because the Kindle has popularity in the market, moreover Amazon also provides movies and music service, so the company's Tablet is likely to pose a threat to Apple. But Apple iPad has been the lone cruiser among the tablet computers, we all know its gorgeous appearance and powerful functions, when we import videos to ipad with high definition on that big screen, it feels so good, even though most videos can be played on iPad if we don't use ipad video converter, but it's worth for us to have a visual feast. Although criticized for various technological deficits, most notably the lack of flash support and true multi-tasking, Apple's iPad has set the standard for others to follow.

Amazon is expected to price its new tablet lower than Apple's iPad, particularly in light of the TouchPad's success during the $99 fire sale after HP discontinued the product. Amazon isn't likely to dip that low in pricing, but the company could dip below the $300 price point and find success, some analysts say.

Before the time that we don't sure when Amazon will release its Tablet, many reports about this product have made other manufacturers feel threatened. Digital products search engine Retrevo said in July, there are 55% Tablet PC buyers are willing to buy Amazon Tablet PC, higher than the nearest competitor. Now we will see it tomorrow, and we'll know its price and everything. Just a few days ago, iPad2 launched in China, but it gets a depressed reaction, everyone shocked, seems like iPad2 craze is fading.

5:27 AM - Kindle Fire Is Not the Competitor of iPad

You may already know that Kindle Fire is priced $199, which is pretty low, and for sure, it's the only advantage compared to iPad, while in other aspects, it can't compete with iPad at all. Even though the rumor like "iPad killers" has spread for a long time, and many analysts and consumers have high expectations on it.

But until now, I guess many of us feel a little disappointed in the Kindle Fire product announcement, I mean for months now, this secret tablet was being championed as the "first real competitor for the iPad." Well, I guess it can be considered a competitor if you base that information solely on its outrageously low price, hello, $199, of course it has more advantages than iPad, which we all know that some of us even can't afford it. So in my opinion, just like Amazon's e-reader, the Kindle Fire is not even in the same category as the iPad. Apparently, I am not the only one who thinks so. It has become clear that consumers in general would rather buy an iPad than any other tablet, no matter what kind of hardware it has, no matter how open sourced its software is. At first time, the price of TouchPad is lower than iPad, but just after a few months, TouchPad was dead, sorry for HP. Now Amazon takes a big risk to produce its tablet, what they need is to do not let itself disappear in a very short time just like TouchPad.

According to Sodahead, the web's largest opinion-based social community, a recent poll revealed that 61 percent of consumers believe that the iPad will maintain its lead over all other tablets on the market and only 39 percent believe the Kindle Fire will rise to the top and become the number one tablet, obviously, iPad has more approval rate. The truth is iPad has been the lone cruiser among the tablet computers, we all know its gorgeous appearance and powerful functions, even it has some flaws, like if we want to watch other format videos on ipad, we have to know how to view videos on ipad, and like DIVX,M2TS,VOB etc, these videos only can be played via ipad video converter, but iPad is still our first choice. Although criticized for various technological deficits, most notably the lack of flash support and true multi-tasking, Apple's iPad has set the standard for others to follow.

Sure, the Kindle Fire is significantly less expensive than the iPad, but it is also half the machine. Right now at Apple.com, you can get a refurbished iPad (first generation) for $399. This specific iPad model has twice the memory, a larger screen and ten times as many apps for exactly twice the price. The Kindle Fire doesn't have a camera or a microphone, has less battery life and is subject to Amazon's policy of handing out your personal browsing information without your express permission. There is no 3G capability and no larger memory capability. Sodahead's poll just confirmed my personal opinion that Amazon's big unveiling was for a reduced version of an amazing tablet. There is no competition here. So is that obvious which one will be chosen by consumers? "iPad killer" will never show up, even the founder of Apple has left us,but we will never forget him,forever.

5:45 AM - Tim Cook Said He Doesnâ??t Worry About Kindle Fire

You may think that Apple feels upset and threatened about Kindle Fire, but no, completely opposite, analyst Ben Reitzes of Barclays spoke to Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer regarding the Kindle Fire, they seem be the last one who will worry about Amazon's tablet.


While the low-low price of Amazon's new tablet, the Kindle Fire, is mistaken being called a viable competitor for the iPad, Apple is perfectly happy with the gadget's introduction into the tablet market because it just adds another level of fragmentation to the Android platform. Kindle Fire that just priced 199 dollar looks very competitive, and most people think it will become the new iPad competitor. However, due to the use of the Amazon Kindle Fire is another system that will further divide the flat panel market. Kindle Fire applications compatible with Android system can either product is compatible with Amazon. The more fragmentation, the better, says Apple, since that could drive more consumers to the stable Apple platform, another product of Apple platform - Mac also has invincible status in the market, this point can be proved by the popularity of Apple's derived products like mac dvd burner.

The Fire has a different look than other Android-based tablets, which may cause them to look strange, and this device may even fuel a whole new category of custom built Kindle Fire apps, further fragmenting the operating system market. While Amazon has made a smart move by offering their tablet at an impossibly low price of $199, the Kindle Fire is also half the device that the iPad is. By undercutting their competitors, Amazon will gain momentum in the category of market share, but it is less likely to sustain longevity once people realize that the Kindle Fire is more like a toy than a piece of technology.


Ben Reitzes believes that Apple will lower the price of iPad in the future, but they will not at the expense of product quality and user experience and as a means to compete. The angle of Apple and Amazon to enter the flat market is completely different. Apple iPad have earned lots of money, but the price of their content and services is relatively low, to maintain the balance of payments. Instead, Amazon is selling low-priced Kindle Fire, and then attracts customers to buy their content, entre their products ecosystem. iPad also have many other applications, like

dvd copy mac

, it's a gadget that can help iPad users enjoy videos on iPad, which certainly is helpful to iPad's sales.



If you just on the sideline about iPad, then you may be tempted by Kindle Fire, after all, it is so cheap. And now it's said that Amazon will introduce its Kindle Smartphone, it is just a matter of time, they said if Amazon want to be Apple or beat Apple, then they have to create something that can compete with iPhone, seems like Amazon just won't stop to chase Apple.
