Eyeing an Amazon Kindle Fire?
Last week Jeff Bezos held a press event in NYC unveiling Amazon’s impressive new line-up of tablets. Amazon introduced a refreshed line of black and white Kindles, but the biggest draw of the day by far was the long-awaited Amazon Kindle Fire – a full color Android tablet. The seven inch, 14.6 ounce tablet is powered by dual-core processors and has a rumored battery life of 7 hours. The best part? The Fire is going to cost $199. Officially not available until November 15, Amazon is currently taking orders for them. Here at Yahoo!, we’re always excited when we see new devices that promise to offer a highly personalized consumer experience. And, based on some of our Yahoo! Search data – we think everyone else is pretty interested in the Fire too! Yahoo! searches for “Kindle Fire” were up 2,993% yesterday.Once it’s shipping, users of the Amazon Fire tablet will be able to easily set up Yahoo! Mail. With Yahoo! Mail for Kindle Fire, you get the works: include photos as attachments, search for messages, create folders that keep you organized—stay on top of all your communications.
I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking I just might need to order myself a Kindle Fire…!
