Amazon's new kindle - Fire! - Mark - 06-10-2011 Amazon's new kindle - Fire! Amazon have announced their new Kindle, named the Kindle Fire. They've already reported pre-orders of over 2,000 per hour. Over 250,000 orders in five days is pretty impressive but will they continue.. can this outsell the iPad? It comes in at $199 (About £125/£130) The Amazon Kindle Fire has a dual processor, 8GBs storage and a 7″ multi-touch screen. Amazon Prime members will also have access to unlimited instant streaming of over 10,000 movies and TV shows. Amazon have dropped the price of their other Kindle models with the cheapest now only $79. RE: Amazon's new kindle - Fire! - Fireren - 07-10-2011 This is relevant to my username. XD But yeah it looks pretty nice as well. They've already made 49 million in sales assuming your numbers are correct. :O RE: Amazon's new kindle - Fire! - Mark - 07-10-2011 Yeah, close to 50 million minus the cost of making the devices to them ofcourse and shipping. RE: Amazon's new kindle - Fire! - Drumm - 08-10-2011 Why does Mark feel the need to bring Apple into EVERYTHING. The dark side is too strong in this one, yet so uncontrolled. On a sidenote; It will never sell out, because Apple think it looks like an iPad RE: Amazon's new kindle - Fire! - Mark - 08-10-2011 It does look like an iPad, what's that saying "if you can't beat them, join them". Apple are still on the top of their game in the tablet world anyone making tablets just makes it look like an iPad running a different OS. If you want to overtake you have to have something that the iPad doesn't otherwise they'll choose the iPad everytime. RE: Amazon's new kindle - Fire! - Drumm - 08-10-2011 It doesn't look like an iPad. It's about as much an iPad, as a DesireHD is an iPhone. There is a VERY Clear difference.
