Looks like Bloomberg got early access and published before the actual press conference by accident.
The most relevant details:
The Kindle Fire will have a 7-inch display and sell for $199, compared with $499 for Apple’s cheapest iPad, Amazon executives said. The device, a souped-up version of the Kindle electronic-book reader, will run on Google Inc.’s Android software, the Seattle-based company said.
The Kindle Fire doesn’t have an embedded camera or a microphone. The device offers Wi-Fi connectivity, though not 3G access, and comes with a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, the company’s $79-a-year membership service that includes streaming video and free two-day shipping.
- apaprocki 15y agoIt wasn't an accident. It was a straight news "scoop". The news headline came across the wire at 9:31am: *AMAZON TO UNVEIL KINDLE FIRE TODAY, SELL TABLET AT $199 BN 9:31 Just to be sure, I checked with the news team. :)
