Amazon Kindle Fire Released Today, High End-of-year Sales Predicted

After much build up in the past weeks, Amazon has officially released its color media tablet. Those who pre-ordered the tablet were able to get their hands on it yesterday. The $199 device comes in at half the price tag of Apple’s iPad, but it is uncertain if the Amazon Kindle Fire can significantly undercut the industry leading Apple iPad .

The Kindle Fire features a 7-inch display and runs on a Google’s Android operating system.
