You can now have a Kindle eReader just with a selling price of $79 and you have to view the advertisings quite frequently.

by Pallab Jyotee Hazarika, Sunday 2012/05/20
 
Until now there vary offers proposed by Amazon with their Kindle collection of devices however for at first chance they have announced any kind of plan that is about the advertisings. This kind of offer could further more get launched inside the Kindle Fire their own 7 inch tablet having said that there's certainly not been official affirmation until now.

Reported by an AdAge record the Amazon is courting advertisers as well as seeking approximately $600, 000 or more for advertisements that could run for around some time span of 2 several weeks. Amazon hasn't mentioned anything concerning this topic. But in case we think that the same plan also applies the Kindle Fire pills than Kindle fire tablets will be offered with a cheap too. Viewing advertisements won't be problems for the consumers, who wish a tablet with a lower selling price.

The advertisements will be of much concern for the consumers as they can look just because the display screen savers they'll not prevent any kind of application that the end user expects to run. Therefore the users can have the full advantage of the applications as well as that will also provide an opportunity to have the tablet for a lower selling price.

As well as that there's an option to the users to disable the advertisements just by spending an amount of $30. Therefore the consumers won't have to view the advertisements if they don’t would like. Just in case this kind of offer can also be launched on the Kindle Fire then we can easily guess it will certainly attract many consumers too.

Angry Birds devs reveal next game: Amazing Alex

Hot on the heels of its big franchise's 1 billionth download, Angry Birds developer Rovio is introducing its next title: "Amazing Alex." Rovio head Mikael Hed told Finnish television about the game, revealing it to be based on the recently acquired "Casey's Contraptions" property, previously owned by Snappy Touch and Mystery Coconut.

The only information about Amazing Alex thus far identifies it as part education tool, part game, featuring a boy named – you guessed it – Alex, "who loves to build." If we're going by what we've seen in Casey's Contraptions, Amazing Alex will create Rube Goldberg-esque machines to complete a variety of objectives. Take a look for yourself (at Casey's Contraptions) just below the break.

Hed told the Finnish station that "quality pressure is high" internally for Rovio's next project, especially in light of recent Angry Birds milestones. "We want to maintain the high standard Angry Birds fans have come to enjoy." Platforms and a release date for Amazing Alex are currently unknown.

Amazon's Kindle Fire shipments slump in Q1: IDC


(Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc's (AMZN.O) Kindle Fire was a popular gift item during the holiday season but shipments of the $199 tablet computer dropped sharply in the following months.
Market share of Kindle Fire, which was launched with much fanfare by Amazon in November, fell to about 4 percent in January-March period from 16.8 percent in the fourth quarter, according to research firm IDC.
"The tablet market in general has been very seasonal," Bob O'Donnell, IDC's program vice president, said. "At $199 it (Kindle) was much more of an impulse buy during the holidays. You don't get much of an impulse buy during Q1."
Consumer device giant Apple Inc (AAPL.O) remained in the No.1 spot, shipping 11.8 million tablets and increasing its global tablet market share to 68 percent last quarter from 54.7 percent in the December quarter.
Rival Samsung Electronics 005939.KS moved back into the No.2 spot, owing to weakness in Kindle Fire sales, followed by Lenovo in the fourth spot and Barnes & Noble (BKS.N) at No.5, the IDC said.
But overall, tablet shipments worldwide were a lower-than-expected 17.4 million units, representing a 1.2 million unit shortfall from IDC's projections as a steep drop in shipments of Android-based tablets offset Apple's strong sales in the quarter.
The total still represents a year-over-year growth rate of 120 percent, the IDC said.
The hotly contested and increasingly crowded tablet arena is expected to get more players in the coming months and years. Some industry executives say that sales of the mobile device will eat into personal computer sales and could even outsell them.

Find: Amazon's Kindle Fire now the #1 Android tablet with 54% of the android market

Ars Technica Data published by comScore shows that Amazon's Kindle Fire has emerged as the dominant Android-based tablet. At the end of February, the Kindle Fire accounted for 54 percent of all Android tablets. The next most popular Android tablet product line is Samsung's Galaxy Tab family, which dropped from 23 percent of Android tablets in December to 15 percent in February.
The success of the Fire is no surprise to those paying attention to the tablet market—as we wrote last year, there is healthy demand for a low-cost iPad alternative. Amazon can afford to offer the hardware at a lower price than its rivals because it can make up the difference in content sales. The key factors driving sales of the Fire are likely its low price point, the strength of the Kindle brand, and the breadth of the Amazon content ecosystem.

Amazon's Kindle Fire Sales Fizzle in 2012, Market Share Slips to Third

That Apple remains in first place in the tablet market comes as no surprise. IDC's latest research shows that in the first quarter of 2012, Amazon's once-hot Kindle Fire is struggling. According to IDC, Amazon's share dropped from nearly 17% of the tablet market to 4%, with fewer than 700,000 units sold compared to Apple's 11.8 million.
The inexpensive Kindle Fire took off when it was introduced in late 2011, giving Amazon 16.8% of the tablet market with 4.8 million shipments. Amazon's 7-inch tablet was the right product at the right price at the right time, that being the all-important holiday season. The Fire is an inexpensive tablet that offered many of the features that people want for less than half the price of an iPad. But the Fire didn't knock people's socks off, and many of the reviews were lukewarm, at best.

Amazon Still Trounces B&N

Apparently, the bloom is off the rose. Amazon's Q1 sales put it behind Samsung sales of Android tablets, but still comfortably ahead of Barnes & Noble's Nook tablets. Lenovo took the fourth slot, while B&N grabbed fifth place.
IDC predicts that Amazon will try to win back market share with the introduction of a "new larger-screened device... at a typically aggressive price point." IDC's Tom Mainelli, research director for IDC's Mobile Connected Devices group, also predicts Google will debut a tablet co-branded with ASUS.

Lessons Learned: Price Matters, to a Point

The lesson that Apple's tablet competitors should take from IDC's research is that price does drive sales - up to a point. The drop-off from the last quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012 is far steeper than is easily explained by the end of holiday shopping. IDC had predicted overall tablet sales to be 1.2 million units higher than they were this quarter, with the shortfall mostly attributed to Amazon's slip.
Even though Apple introduced a new iPad this year, it's continuing to sell iPad 2s at a reduced price, fending off the cheap Android tablets and defending its market share while maintaining high margins on the rest of the iPad line. Apple owned 54.7% of the market in Q4 2011, and has bumped that figure back up to 68% in Q1 2012.
Tablet sales have grown 120% from last year, but were still lower than IDC's predictions. Whether tablet sales continue to slow in Q4 will be interesting to see.

Android Still Lags

Android vendor sales have not been able to catch up to iOS in the tablet market in the same way that they've been able to catch up with iOS phones. Despite two years and a slew of vendors chasing Apple's tail, Android has been able to glom on to only 32% of tablet sales in the last quarter. Android's fragmentation, poor customer reviews and pricing missteps have held it back.
It had looked like Amazon's Kindle Fire would be the breakout device for Android. And it was - briefly. But even Amazon's muscle and cut-rate pricing hasn't been enough to overtake the iPad.
