The Amazon Kindle Fire might be a hot item in the USA, but what about the rest of the world? The device prepares to take on the global market starting with the UK, that might see it launched locally in January 2012. The info comes from Know Your Mobile, that quotes a pretty solid source.
No specific date, pricing or content/media available with the slate were mentioned. Current estimations for the Kindle Fire shipments stand at 6 million for the following months, so success is pretty much sure. After all a $200 7 inch tablet sounds good, no matter the specs. In this case they are quite decent, with a dual core CPU included, as well as 8GB of storage and some more space for storing stuff in the cloud.
If you ignore the lack of camera, 3G and GPS this product is pretty nifty, especially with the latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich port on it. Analysts see the Kindle Fire as the Android tablet to rule them all in the following year and the first major problem for Apple, provided that Cupertino doesn’t find a way to sue Amazon…
