Amazon Fires $199, 7-Inch Tablet At Apple

amazon-logo-oAmazon's not-so-secret project is finally unveiled and is the company's first real tablet contender. The Kindle Fire is Amazon's prize fighter in the battle for tablet dominance.The Fire itself is rather characterless and dull. It looks a lot like the 7-inch BlackBerry PlayBook (probably for good reason) and features just enough tech to pass as acceptable. There's a tw0-point multitouch screen (the iPad has a 10-point screen), and an unspecified CPU although reports place a TI OMAP CPU at the core. There are no physical buttons on the black slate along with little Amazon branding. The Fire doesn't have a camera, mic or 3G connectivity although it does pack WiFi. It's all about the experience
