TABLETS

Copio y pego la carta que aparece en el portal de amazon.com respecto a la presentación de varios  nuevos productos, entre ellos la tableta Kindle Fire. En el enlace tienen acceso al video que menciona en el párrafo final. Se supone que el KF sería una competencia económica para el IPad, aunque ya han surgido algunas objeciones a la privacidad de los usuarios. El producto aun no está a la venta, de manera que la empresa tiene tiempo como para dar las seguridades del caso a quienes naveguen usando la nube a través de Silk.

Dear Customers,
There are two types of companies: those that work hard to charge customers more, and those that work hard to charge customers less.
Both approaches can work. We are firmly in the second camp.
We are excited to announce four new products: the all-new Kindle for only $79, two new touch Kindles – Kindle Touch and Kindle Touch 3G – for $99 and $149, and a new class of Kindle – Kindle Fire – a beautiful full color Kindle for movies, TV shows, music, books, magazines, apps, games, web browsing and more, for only $199.
These are high-end products – the best Kindles we’ve ever made. Kindle and Kindle Touch have the most-advanced E Ink display technology available, and the 3G Kindle Touch adds free 3G wireless – no monthly fees and no annual contracts. Kindle Fire brings everything we’ve been working on at Amazon for 15 years together into a single, fully-integrated experience for customers – instant access to Amazon’s massive selection of digital content, a vibrant color IPS touchscreen with extra-wide viewing angle, a 14.6 ounce design that’s easy to hold with one hand, a state-of-the-art dual core processor, free storage in the Amazon Cloud, and an ultra-fast mobile browser – Amazon Silk – available exclusively on Kindle Fire.

We are building premium products and offering them at non-premium prices.

Thank you for being a customer,
Jeff Bezos Founder & CEO

p.s. – Kindle Fire has a radical new web browser called Amazon Silk. When you use Silk – without thinking about it or doing anything explicit – you’re calling on the raw computational horsepower of Amazon EC2 to accelerate your web browsing.
