Kindle Fire

Wow this has been the hottest news on this week. Interestingly enough, Amazon introduced its tablet as “Kindle Fire”ย 
and the most amazing thing is Amazon is starting its Tablet journey with their famous “Day 1 South” approach. Starting in red and collect back. First I thought this as a new Android based Tablet, and scratched my head to think what is the difference between this and 7 inch Galaxy Tab…
However, after some thoughts…I believe this is the most fearful approach ….not just because of its low price…bur rather because of these facts
* Amazon has almost full line up in cloud service and its related contents: eBooks, Videos, Music, Android applications, etc…
* Amazon’s buying power or negotiation power with contents providers or publishers are incredible.ย 
and most of all….
* Amazon has extremely loyal customers who pay $79 per year as Prime members- who does everything with Amazon because you paid $79 to company.
I guess this will raise tons of contents sales as Amazon said, and even increase in Prime subscription (Already Video stream is free for Prime customers..)
So, Netflix and even Google gotta be fearful of this….and I believe if this is successful, this will change the game to “access to contents” business as Apple already did a bit..

T-Mobileโ€™s Seattle Speed Challenge: $1,000 says the Galaxy Sโ„ข 4G is faster than your iPhoneยฎ.

Nice approach… as one of the challenger game …starting this Friday, today, till end of Sunday….

Definitely worthwhile to try, but I am curious how many iPhone users will show up and do test to try to claim the money…. iPhone users don’t care about the speed, don’t care about the rateplan, and don’t care about anything other than the fact it is a iPhone!!!
(Anyhow, this test will do validate it)

Poor and somewhat sadย analogy-if this hold true-, but hope this is not the case of insisting Wal-Mart is much better than Costco to loyal people shopping at Costco…

BTW, one funny extension is this news is showing up in Korean press as well but more twisted to how great Samsung’s Galaxy Sย device is… (No complaints because more Korean will recognize the company I work for, but thought this is a bit crossing over the line… )
