KINDLE FIRE 2 (CODENAME: HOLLYWOOD) RELEASE DATE!Not rumors. Conjectures. The difference?
Conjectures are based upon hard data ... and rumors. :-)
The Amazon Kindle Fire was announced on September 28 last year.
One of the major features which is attributed to its success is its use of a modified version of the Android operating System and the price point of just $199.
In the process, the Kindle Fire created its own zone in the market, that of a smaller budget tablet.
After nearly a year of successful, unchallenged existence, the Kindle Fire is now threatened by another tablet
which is expected to soon make its appearance in Google I/O. The Google Nexus 7 tablet.
The Nexus 7 is also a 7 inch tablet
but it is better than the Kindle Fire in almost every other aspect. It’s got a better screen resolution, a better processor, a better and more advanced OS
(Android Jelly Bean).
It even comes with a camera, which was missed by many in the Kindle Fire.
The final killing blow is the Nexus 7’s expected price. It is said to the same as the Kindle Fire, at $199.
Amazon’s only option to defend itself now is to bring out a new and better Kindle Fire.
And according to a CNET source,
Amazon will launch the next generation Kindle Fire on July 31, though the site cannot yet confirm the launch date.
According to another similar report on Digitimes,
Amazon plans to bring out a new Kindle Fire with a better screen resolution of 1,280 by 800-pixel
in the beginning of the third quarter
and at the same time reducing the price of its existing model to $149.
This business strategy is the same that Apple applies to the sale of its iPad.
