Amazon
took less than a month to make the jump from U.S. Europe with the new Kindle Fire HD and HDX. The tablets are available as of today in the Spanish store. The e-commerce giant Apple anticipates well, probably present new versions of their tablets the next day October 22.
yet I could not test these new Kindle Fire but there are four interesting points on offer this year.
1. The Android disappeared
first decided forking Amazon Kindle Fire Android. The operating system is based on that of Google, but it follows a divergent path and Amazon is responsible for updating and maintaining it. In this latest version of FireOS scarcely any references to the green android, while maintaining compatibility with apps of Google Play.
2. The lightweight tablet
This is a success. The new 8.9-inch Fire weighs only 374 grams . The iPad has almost an inch more screen (and in 4:3, which gives a significantly higher surface) but weighs over 650 grams. Apple, so far, has been unable to lighten the tablet since the Retina screen jump forced to use a higher capacity battery.
3. Seattle, we have a problem.
One of the new Fire tablets this year is Mayday button , which starts automatically a video with support Amazon.
a videoconference in one direction (only the user can see the wizard, Amazon user has no image, just of your screen). The function, however, not available in the Spanish market . For now it is only for U.S. users.
4. As always, the price
Amazon
remains an interesting bet. Your business is not selling the device, but the content and access to the store. This allows them to sell the product with a profit margin close to zero. HDX sold $ 379 8.9-inch version and 229 euros in version seven. These prices are for the advertising model screensaver. You have to add about 20 euros for the model that does not.
Still, talk about a price significantly less than the iPad and in line with that of Google’s Nexus devices (which can also sacrificing profit margins in the hope of getting it back through your use of the tablet user ).
