Amazon debuts 'Kindle Fire' Android Tablet

The Kindle Fire is a 7-inch tablet running Android and functioning as a “souped-up version of the Kindle.” To reach that keen price, Amazon has eschewed the integration of a camera, microphone or 3G, though the Fire will come with WiFi and a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime. Prime membership typically costs $79 per year and grants the benefits of free two-day shipping and access to Amazon’s video-streaming service.

The tablet will cost $199 in the US and it set to launch on the 7th November. No UK launch has been announced but expect to see it around new years with a price tag at around £189.
