The Amazon Kindle Fire was one of the hottest selling devices over the holiday season. (It was literally a… fire sale.) The Kindle Fire, was the first truly capable Android Tablet for 199$. It features a vibrant 7″ IPS screen similar to the iPad, a swift Dual Core Processor, the revolutionary Amazon Silk Web Browser, and instant access to the massive breadth of Amazon Apps, Books, Videos, and Games. Probably the most important aspect of the new Kindle Fire is its incredible price point that break a family’s budget or bring geeks everywhere further into recession.

Most Android tablets are placed close to the the price point of the iPad or iPad 2. Unfortunately perhaps because of a combination of ridiculously high prices (like the  650$ Xoom?) as well as the painful lack of options in apps and games. Android tablets in general are not doing as well compared to the iPad, iPad 2, and the New iPad. As of this writing there may only be about 3.4 million Android Tablets sold compared to the far lager numbers of Apple iPads in the field. However this trend may have been turned around with the Kindle Fire.

The Kindle Fire, though lacking the larger screens, newer processors, and fancy 3D cameras of its other Android Kin has the complete backing of Amazon. The focus of the Kindle Fire is going to be very similar to the Kindle E Readers, which will be to sell great Amazon Products: Amazon Music (is already one of the great contenders to iTunes with its DRM free easy downloads), Amazon’s Books (which will soon outnumber those found in every library in the world),  and Movies (which will be great for Amazon Prime members). Going forward, as Android apps continue to improve in quality and numbers the Kindle Fire should continue to be a great entertainment source for those who purchased it. There are currently rumors of a new larger Amazon Tablet on the horizon. Will a larger Amazon tablet finally take on the iPad in the numbers game or culturally at that? Only time will tell.

Finally, despite the Kindle Fire’s great price and decent build quality it still needs the best kind of protection out there.
