First of all Kindle Fire exceeded everyone’s expectations. The Fire is a tablet for all; its form factor makes the iPad seem a bit odd in comparison –- and you can even get two Kindle Fires for the price of one iPad.
Also, Amazon Prime customers can watch streaming movies and TV shows for free, the app marketplace isn’t censored the way that Apple’s is, and it’s also terrific for kids.
The Fire is more sturdy and durable than the iPad, it can easily survive being dropped off a table and is scratch resistant.
Contrary, customers will want a Fire in addition to their iPad, but opposite won't be true.
It’s the best bang for bucks. The Fire is a Kindle with benefits. Amazon’s App store is also far more friendly to developers than Apple’s, so the Fire is only going to get more exciting from here on out.
On the other hand The iPad is the current king of the hill over the tablet market for the past two years, despite a steady stream of challengers trying to knock it off its perch. Enter the Amazon Kindle Fire, the first real competitor that is causing anyone at Apple to break a sweat. Amazon is going to sell a lot of Kindle Fire tablets, without a doubt. It won't sell as many as Apple but the Kindle Fire's $200 price tag and solid design will be enough to nab a lot of buyers.
Still, the Kindle Fire is not the tablet for technologists or business professionals. It is the tablet for your grandma, Uncle Ted, or your 12 year old. It's good at two things -- consuming content from Amazon (books, videos, and music) and purchasing products from Amazon. The Kindle Fire does not and will not have the extended ecosystem of the iPad and the Fire's 7-inch screen -- as opposed to the 10-inch iPad -- makes it less of a laptop replacement.
The new Kindle Fire is still the cheapest tablet, but Amazon is not yet ready to give more discounts.
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.
