New Amazon Tablet: Kindle Fire – What it Is and What it Isn’t

Amazon has announced their new Kindle tablet – the Amazon Kindle Fire (Get it? Kindle…Fire…), and while it may not be an iPad killer, the Amazon tablet very well may be some serious competition for the iPad. In addition to being able to access all of Amazon’s catalogues – books, music, movies, and more – on the tablet, you can access Amazon’s Android app store (the Kindle Fire runs a modified Android under the hood), you can subscribe to magazines, you can check email, and you can browse the web using Amazon’s snappy new web browser, Amazon Silk (not sure what silk has to do with fire), and, you can run Flash with the Kindle Silk browser – which the iPad can’t (or rather won’t) do. All this for only $199!
