Amazon’s cheap Kindle Fire competes against the iPad 2 and Barnes and Noble’s cheap tab on Black Friday.
Amazon has unveiled its Black Friday Deals list but it looks like the retail chain isn’t ready to slash the price of the Kindle Fire yet.
According to company’s shopping site, the Kindle Fire is still $199, which is the product’s official price tag. It is worth noting that other Kindle products including the Kindle DX are included in the Black Friday Deals.
Kindle Fire is one of the cheapest Android tablets in the market right now, in fact, the Fire could be the cheapest “high-end” Android tablet just because it includes a dual-core CPU and a robust ecosystem. Apparently, Amazon has tweaked the Google Android operating system to include its own app store and other digital online stores like the MP3 store and the Kindle e-Books store.
Amazon’s tablet strategy is similar to Nook Tablet, Barnes and Noble’s $249 tablet running a custom Android Gingerbread operating system, and dual-core CPU. The new Nook is also not included in Barnes and Noble’s Black Friday sale list.
Meanwhile, Apple is trying its best to stop the new cheap Android tablets with the Black Friday iPad 2 sale. According to the company’s official shopping website, the iPad 2 is now $41 cheaper, and the cheapest model (16GB model) is now $458 only, the 32GB is $548 while the high-end 64GB is priced at $638. The cheapest iPad 2 now is still $259 more expensive than the Kindle Fire.
Apple is trying to attract the customers with the new iOS 5 operating system which supports the new iCloud service, iTunes Match, new gestures for the iPad, deeper Twitter integration, PC free activation so users can activate the iPad without a PC or Mac and the wireless software update which is similar to Android’s.
Are you willing to shell out $458 for an iPad 2? With $458, you can also buy one Kindle Fire and one Nook Tablet with a total bill of $448.
According to a survey conducted before the Black Friday weekend, the iPad 2 is the most popular tablet with 65 percent of consumers saying that they’ll buy Apple’s tablet computer, while 24 percent said they want the new Amazon tablet. Barnes and Noble’s Nook Tablet took the bottom slot with 11% of consumers saying that they will try the Nook’s new ecosystem.
