While the Kindle Fire 2 is to be shown and presented to the general public on July 31st, the official release date now seems to be August the 7th, 2012! In case you are a new reader to our blog and haven't been following all the latest news on the new Amazon Kindle Fire 2, here is a great rumor roundup to help make a long story short.
Google's Nexus 7 is the tablet to overcome right now and it won't be an easy task (not by a long shot!) and Amazon knows it. There were long running rumors which told us that Amazon is planning to launch a refresh of its line of kindles and all the current news support that theory. As for the competition, nobody is really worried about Apple or Samsung anymore at Amazon since Google is making use of its brand name, technology, and additionally its content (apps, games, singing, movies) to woo consumers to its new tablet device the Nexus 7 which is a direct competitor to Amazon in the lower-end sector.
Based on the report conducted by ChinaTimes.com the production of the Kindle Fire 2 has been ramped up and Amazon is ready to have 2 million models fully manufactured and ready for sale by August 7th. Furthermore the report backs-up our previous information that the new device will feature a metal case and a new rumor that Amazon will hire a different battery supplier. The full HD and different screen sizes are also on the rumor mill, but the processor is something I am more concerned with. Will it be a quad-core to compete with the Nexus 7? We shall soon see!
i am reading all the blogs and i am a owner of a kindle, kindle touch, and a kindle fire. so what EXACTLY does the new kindle fire do that the old one doesnt all this is tale aoubt the processor and screen size what new features are they acutally offering?????????
ReplyDeleteThe new tablet will do everything it already does but much faster, it will provide you with access to apps that require better hardware (mostly games) and comes with the new Amazon Game Circle which will be a lot of fun, it will come with a camera and improved chat features. Also the extra memory storage will come in handy, and you will get a much better screen quality. It will make it much more enjoyable to read and browse and also make it more appealing to stream/watch video. It will also be great for new users as it will allow them to get a lot of free content along with a new tablet.
