Amazon Kindle Fire: a 7-inch touch pad for $ 199

And now, without any surprise, Amazon used its press conference to officially unveil its touch pad: the Fire. With its success on the field of digital reading lights, the giant now wants to tackle a whole new market and no doubt this kind troublemaker will not fail to sow discord. The program, therefore, a 7-inch touch pad, Google Android and a price just as the beautiful mini will be available at $ 199 .... So sure, for that price, we will not necessarily entitled to the Tegra 3 but must admit that the new risk to please all those who may not have $ 600 to slam into a device of this type.

We'll start with the technical specifications of the beast:

• IPS screen 7-inch (1024 by 600).
• ARM dual-core processor running at 1 GHz.
• Magazine built (and paid) to 100,000 films and series.
• 8 GB of disk space (thank you Roman).
• Free storage on Amazon Cloud.
• Google Android (flanged version).
• Support Kindle books.
• Whispersync technology (wireless sync).
• Integrating Amazon Silk (web technology house).
• No photo / video sensor.
• No 3G.
• USB 2.0 port.
• 3.5 mm audio jack.
• WiFi.
• 413 grams. 

So of course, for the moment, there remains a lot of unknowns. What is known is that the technology will work just as Whispersync Airplay and will enable you to easily send the contents of your tablet to your TV, all without wires of course. But not only since this technology also synchronize your readings. We can then easily find its annotations or the last page read. Also note that you can find all the information on the Fire. In any case, for sure, Amazon has just launched a huge stir. While a lot of people dream of a touch pad, everyone does not necessarily have the means to acquire one. And when you see the success of the touchpad to 99 euros, we understand why the shop decided to tighten their belts. When you arrive late in a market, there are only two ways to win against the competition: either we come up with an innovative product or we gripe about the price.

And there, in this case, Amazon has a little of both worlds. Now it just remains to be seen whether his strategy will pay off and only time will tell ...

The Amazon Fire will go on sale from 15 November.
