Amazon has dived head first into the tablet market with its Kindle Fire ending a long running speculation that Amazon would release its own tablet.
Price : $199
The price seems the true differentiator. With a solid spec including an IPS panel but no 3g, it is in fact a sweet deal.
Below is the official Amazon announcement of the Tablet :
