Amazon is Now the 2nd Tablet Company
Android had one thing going for it in the mass market: price. And often, they didn’t even had that edge. Sales have been atrocious, nothing has stuck, and the iPad is running wild.
Enter Amazon who now has a tablet for $200 and Kindle’s starting at $79 fueling their funnel. The Kindle is their iPod, a perfect entry product: price wise and offer wise. Do not underestimate a reputable brand and a sub-$100 price tag. Plus, the Kindle Fire has more content built in than any other offering, an existing paying customer-base (with credit cards entered), and Amazon’s impeccable cloud credibility.
And now Bezos just announced a cloud-computing powered browser to make everything speedy and lightweight. They’re killing it.
I’ll write more later today, but on the surface I cannot envision a scenario where licensed Android tablets are even a consideration in the marketplace after what will be Jeff Bezos’ personal holiday season.
