You can’t see the Cupertino company ceding control without a fight - but just like Android smartphones and Windows PCs, there is no way that Apple will continue to competitively attract new customers unless it competes on price. Historically, Apple has been happy with a low market share and high profit margins - but with the iPad, Apple has monopolized an entire, very lucrative market segment. It will be very, very interesting to see how Apple reacts to the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and other cheap tablets. It seems Google and Microsoft will both take similar approaches, too, selling tablet hardware at very close to cost price and hoping that their ecosystem will be the one that wins out. Amazon knows that tablets could be the next best thing, and if it takes a $300 at-cost tablet to tie users into the Amazon Experience, that’s a small price to pay. Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft all have very different visions, but at the moment all they can do is attract as many customers as possible - and then see how this tablet thing shakes out. Remember, while the tablet market is growing very quickly, no one knows how it will turn out.

When it comes to other kinds of content, though, like movies and TV shows, Amazon is best in class. tens of thousands in the Amazon Appstore), but the Fire HD has access to most of the vital apps, including Skype, Netflix, HBO Go, and of course Angry Birds.

On the software side of things, the Fire HD is running a customized version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and the iPad runs iOS 5.1 (soon to be upgraded to iOS 6).

In exchange, though, the Fire HD has better sound and wireless connectivity. Curiously, there’s no rear-facing camera on the Fire HD. The iPad 3’s A5X system-on-a-chip (SoC) is comparable to the Fire HD’s Texas Instruments OMAP4470, with the iPad 3 possibly having a slight edge on graphics performance. In terms of hardware, the iPad does have a marginally larger and higher-resolution screen - but early reports suggest the Fire HD might have a better screen, in terms of contrast, glare, and so on. Apple iPad 3ĭual stereo speakers (with Dolby Digital Plus) The question is, does the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 have what it takes? Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 vs. The Fire HD, with an impressive screen, fancy speakers, and svelte form factor, is obviously targeted straight at the iPad (and indeed, both Jeff Bezos’ presentation and the product page for the Fire HD draw comparisons with the iPad 3). It was the perfect Christmas present, or the ideal buy for someone who was thinking about getting a tablet, but didn’t want to plunk down $500 for an iPad or Galaxy Tab. The original Kindle Fire didn’t go up against the iPad, though - it was a cheap, chunky, 7-inch device that stood alone until the Nexus 7 appeared a few months ago. For this technique to work, Amazon has to sell a lot of tablets - but considering the first-generation Kindle Fire sold somewhere in the region of 6 million units in its first 9 months in the US, comfortably outselling every tablet except for the iPad, I don’t think Amazon will have a problem moving units. Instead of making a huge profit on every device, Amazon instead opts to sell its tablets at cost price, relying on aftermarket purchases (Prime, movies, e-books, music, TV shows) to turn a profit. Given its slightly cheaper materials (plastic chassis rather than aluminium) and Amazon’s weaker supply chain, the 16GB Kindle Fire HD 8.9 probably costs around $300 as well. The 16GB WiFi iPad 3, at launch, cost roughly $300 to build.

Now, for a start, this price disparity gives you some idea of Apple’s ludicrous profit margins, but it also illustrates the very different tack that Amazon is taking.
