Knowing the technical characteristics of the tablet from Amazon , the comparison with the iPad,market leader, does not hold. However, few analysts doubt its success. The key is the price: its $ 199 (146 euros), less than half the cheapest iPhone, at the expense of having no camera or GPS or other advantages. Jeff Bezos, Amazon chief, and bets on what he worked in the Kindle electronic reader, devices which take a few things, but well and easily.
Fire Kindle is ugly. Yes, the same was said with justice, its e-reader, but does not stop people take him in the bag (the reader has succeeded mainly among women, the pill among men).
Kindle Fire does NOT fit all. Yes, the same was said with justice, its electronic reader.And people bought it.
The electronic reader meets the voracious reader. If someone wants to also see photos of his family, who did not buy the Amazon e-reader. Fire tablet maintains the philosophy: a device for reading books, listening to music and watch movies. All downloaded from the Amazon ecosystem. In the absence of concretions, it is unclear whether this tablet will, for example, downloaded Netflix movies, buy in iTunes or listen to Spotify.
The explosion of the tablets, especially the iPhone, has generated many studies and surveys on the use of the device. One of the latest is Citigroup, conducted among consumers in China, USA and the UK. 62% buy confesses that the tablet as a toy, only 12% will replace a computer. 68% will use it to navigate and 58% to check email.Another previous study of Staples Advantage, among employees of companies, noted that he uses in the bathroom (35%), restaurants (30%) and in bed (78%). As in the previous case, the main function is to consult the mail (75%), something that can be done perfectly with the smartphone, especially when in most cases it comes to trash pull. If you have to write long texts and some care, the tablet wins by advantage, but that makes it like the 150 than 800 euros.
Unbeatable in the Kindle Fire (199 dollars) it is compared with Apple, Motorola, Samsung, HP or Dell, but not with white markings. At the same Amazon store tablets can be found cheaper than yours and with similar characteristics. What is new is the support of a prestigious brand like Amazon, guarantee quality of service.
Amazon.com currently sells tablets as Viewbook to $ 169 (124 euros), Coby Kyros (159 dollars, 117 euros), Velocity (169 dollars, 124 euros) and Eken (88 dollars, 64 euros).
All have in common 7-inch screen, 8 gigabytes of storage and the Android operating system, although not the most advanced (Kindle the Fire, either), not including its Chrome browser (Fire, either) and its application store ( Fire too), so you can save on licensing costs. They are not all Asian brands, is also France's Tablet Archos for $ 180 that offers a 10-inch HDTV, GPS and webcam.
Still, with these prices and those uses, the key is not how many things can make the tablet in your bathroom, but the water has sound wifi.
