Information Madness

Amazon’s seven-inch Tablet could challenge Apple’s iPad series with its introduction at a price of just two hundred and fifty dollars.  Amazon’s Tablet has a color touch screen and is similar in looks to a BlackBerry PlayBook. It has no physical buttons on its surface. Most of all, it is going to be available for a bargain price of $250. It has been confirmed that `Amazon Kindle’ is a full-fledged tablet device which is different from the other `Kindles’. This tablet is expected to be released by the end of November this year.

The Amazon Tablet could really make a dent in the sales of Apple’s iPads given the competitive price and Amazon’s amazing wealth of content. Amazon has built the operating system on top of a version of Android earlier to the 2.2 series and also has effectively influenced Google’s operating system to build its own version of the `Kindle’.

Amazon has integrated its services in this new tablet with a Kindle App for reading books. It also has its Cloud Player for music, its instant video player for watching movies and its Android Appstore. It also has a web browser and a default Google search.

It will run on a single core chip with 6 GB of internal storage memory. The initial version of the Tablet will be Wi-Fi only and will have a micro USB port and speakers, but it will not have a camera.  Once again, the real big news is its price. It will compete with the Barnes and Nobles Nook Color. Amazon is also planning to give the buyers of the `Amazon Kindle’ Tablet a free subscription to Amazon Prime.
