The $199 tablet runs on a customized version of Android and will be available from November 15.
The Wall Street Journal in its live blog reported on September 28 that Amazon introduced the tablet Kindle Fire at a New York City event.The Seattle-based company could sell up to five million tablets in this year’s fourth quarter, say analysts at Forrester Research.
The price tag is lower than analyst predictions, but what remains to be seen is how well the Kindle Fire performs. At today’s event Jeff Bezos demonstrated some of that capability, playing Fruit Ninja. Bezos also demonstrated how users could read while listening to music. Amazon Web Services, the company’s extensive cloud infrastructure, will be used to back up tablet content and do some of the heavy lifting when it comes to Web surfing.
