Kindle Fire has dominated the market for so long it made us wonder if anyone was planning on trying to beat Amazon and make something better. Apple certainly gave it a shot with their iPad 3 and the heavy storm of rumors that were aimed at promoting the product and discrediting its competition. It seems like the storm has passed and it’s now time for Amazon to strike back with some hot, juicy news on the Kindle Fire 2!
The news leaked fresh from China and the famous tablet manufacturer Catcher Technology. Their team has gotten their orders and will start production for the new Kindle Fire 2 as soon as possible. It would appear that all the conditions and terms have been met and project is about to kick-start. What will Cather Technology be making for Amazon and is their quality good? A lot can be said about Chinese engineering and Cather is proud, reputable name. They will supply Amazon with the chassis from their factory in Taizhou, China with estimated gross margins of 40%.
But are the Chinese enthusiastic engineers prepared for such a long term project and a client such as Amazon? Report from Taipei say that Cather Technology is purchasing 15,000 CNC machines to help boost the productivity and efficiency of the factory. That is good news for the Kindle Fire fans! The final product will be great quality, durable and in according to Amazon’s standards.
Since the specs are still somewhat unknown an anonymous source has added some juicy rumors to the mill for the Kindle Fire 2 specs. It is clear that Amazon has to compete with the iPad (and vica versa) and get some trump cards that they can play. So what are the main concerns Amazon will try to address and how will the Fire 2 be different from the previous kindle?
First of all, Amazon will address the problems of the previous kindle and include:
- Volume control
- Support for an SD Card
And there are follow-up rumors in the mill that there will be a 9 inch version of the Kindle Fire 2 which would be really sweet! The new tablet will surely keep Amazon on the top of the tablet food chain!
