It’s been less than a month since Kindle Fire was released into the tablet market which it took by storm, literally. So far, the reviews have been very encouraging on the nifty, economic device. But according to some reports, Fire users are experiencing problems with their wi-fi connection on the tablet.
I think the phrase ‘ take em by storm’ is quite apt to use for Amazon’s Kindle Fire. It’s been barely in the door of the tablet market and it has already defeated most tablet market contestants, some of the pretty serious ones. According to projected estimates, by the end of next year, Kindle Fire will be the second most-sold tablet in the market, second only to Apple’s iPad.
Amazon has a knack of keeping its sales figures close to its heart and not reveal it. As a result, no one knows exactly how many Kindle Fire units have been sold so far. Analysts are quite keen to know since certainly millions of Kindle Fire units have been sold, making it the top-sold item on Best Buy. The question is, how many millions exactly?
If you thought that this was it about that nifty, cute, affordable device known as Kindle Fire, you are quite wrong. While Apple’s Siri might do wonders for iPad in the coming days, Kindle Fire is all set to gear up the heat as developers continue experimenting with it. In a recent tweak, a developer has successfully run a custom build of build on Kindle Fire.
I wrote in an earlier article that Amazon has claimed it had the best ever Black Friday this year. Although Amazon didn’t reveal any figures, it said it sold four times more tablets than it did last year. And now, reports about Best Buy seem to confirm this.
According to the statement of Amazon representatives, this Black Friday was the best ever for Amazon. And that’s because people rushed to lay their hands on the amazing Kindle Fire. Selling ‘four time more’ Kindle tablets this year, Amazon is surely a smug contestant in the tablet market now.
A lot has been said about Kindle Fire’s speedy web surfing in the brief time since it has been launched. Naturally, the reviewers have called it a contestant to Apple’s iPad 2, one which can threaten iPad’s fan-base in the coming days. However, a number of tests carried out by Cnet reveal that perhaps, that won’t be happening anytime soon.
Apparently, Amazon’s Kindle Fire priced at $199 has taken the tablet market by storm. This price tag of the 7-inch tablet is much lower than the tablets of lot of other companies. Consequently, all of these companies which include HTC, Lenovo and others have decided to lower the prices of their tablets.
