The Kindle Fire is a 7 inch, 14 once, Wi-Fi enabled, mobile personal computer device manufactured and designed by Amazon. The Kindle Fire was launched in November 2011 as a cheaper alternative to the Apple Ipad, and quickly became a hit with customers owing to its great price tag of just $199. The Kindle Fire runs on a customized version of the Android 2.3 Operating System, comes with 8GB in-built memory and is best served to users as a mobile Internet and entertainment device.
