Amazon Kindle Fire Android Tablet Is Official, Priced At Just $199 (Video)

September 29th, 2011

The web’s largest retailer Amazon is unveiling details of its new tablet computer, Kindle Fire. This new Amazon Kindle Fire will cost only $199 and available starting November 15.

Amazon’s Kindle Fire is base on Android, but it is not an “Android tablet” in the way we normally think of the term. Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablet doesn’t include access to the main Android Market. Instead, all app purchases go through Amazon’s own Android app store, which has a far more limited selection. When new updates for Android roll out to the likes of the Xoom and Galaxy Tab, the Fire will likely rely on Amazon for software upgrades.
