Amazon is on fire!

IPad to face competition? That is what people expect the Amazon Fire to bring to the worldwide best selling tablet. I am very skeptical of this claim as I sit here typing on my iPad. However, it does seem that if there was a product in the near future who can come close to competing, it will be the Fire.
The Kindle Fire is more than just an e-reader, with access to Amazon’s vast amounts of android apps as well as a much lower price tag than the iPad. Along with this comes features such web browsing and the compatibility and ability to subscribe to Amazon Prime for shows and movies. For $200, customers can own this tablet.
As Melissa’s blog points out, the war is fierce among touch pads. It is true that other companies are constantly trying to place themselves in the minds of consumers, but the dominance of the iPad is unwavering in the market. It is evident that Amazon is upping their game. However, is the Fire trying to do too much? Being formerly known as only an e-reader, is it taking too big a leap with the Fire?
