Amazon Prime
As an added bonus the tablet will come with a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime. This is Amazon’s $79 per year membership product which will allow video streaming and two-day shipping for their products (not sure if this is applicable to the Philippines).
Amazon Silk
Another amazing feature is the Amazon Silk. This is split browser which results to faster browsing on your tablet. The labor of displaying the sites you browse is divided by the tablet and Amazon’s cloud technology. This is definitely a cool breakthrough in tablet computing.
Free Cloud Storage
One thing that will probably raise your eyebrow is the storage. The Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet will just have 8GB which isn’t a lot considering tablets these days have at least 16GB. That’s because Amazon is offering free cloud storage for all Amazon content that’s on your tablet. That means though you will have to subscribe to their services or buy your content from them.
Over-all I think the Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet is a strong challenger to the dominant iPad. Only time (and sales) will tell though for sure. I’m positive though that they’ll make a huge killing come November and December since it’s holiday season.
The Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet will start shipping on November 15. Pre-orders on-going at the Amazon site.
