The New York Times has begun to speculate that Amazon was planning to release a new Kindle Fire, with a 10-inch screen instead of the current 7, or even to put both models on sale at the same time. This new tablet, with a size more similar to that of its competitors, would enter fully into the fight that seems to be fought between the most powerful technology companies to gain a good number of users for their tablets, which is also usually accompanied by the control of the consumption of content, especially in the well-known case of Amazon and Apple.
The online bookstore Amazon started selling its Kindle Fire about a year ago. This device was intended to be the company's trump card to enter to compete directly with other tablets. Perhaps the greatest of his claims was his priceBecause it was only $ 199; Of course, the screen was significantly smaller than that of other similar devices, and according to what has been said, with use it got much hotter than, for example, the iPad. To this day, Amazon has not yet decided to market the Kindle Fire outside the United States, although I could start doing it soon.
It could also be said that the launch of the new and brand-new Google tablet, Nexus 7, whose price is exactly the same as the Kindle Fire, will surely come to remove the foundations of the market; and the competition does not seem to intend to go sit idly by. The strategies of Apple and Amazon seem to be exactly like crusades in this regard: While it is published in the New York Times that some are considering making their screens larger, the others have already announced the arrival of a reduced version of the iPad. Despite what has been said, Amazon and Apple already have a solid catalog of content and applications respectively. It remains to be seen if Nexus will be the ultimate shuttle to bring the Android system up to speed.
