Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is currently on stage in New York, giving us a rundown of all things Kindle. Â After looking back at the previous four year of success, he is starting to unveil new products and features. Â On such feature is expected to be the hotly-anticipated Kindle Fire tablet, running Android. Â We’ll be back with more information once it’s made public, but we have a pretty solid idea as to what’s in store.
According to a Bloomberg story hitting the wires within the last hour, the Amazon Kindle Fire will debut with a $199 price tag. Â The arrival date is November 15th, but you may want to pre-order yours. Â Sales will be ridiculous.
The Kindle Fire will have a 7-inch display and sell for $199, compared with $499 for Apple’s cheapest iPad, Amazon executives said in interviews with Bloomberg Businessweek. The device, a souped-up version of the Kindle electronic- book reader, will run on Google Inc.’s Android software, the Seattle-based company said.
UPDATE: What does the Amazon Kindle Fire have?
- Access to Prime Instant Video – 11,000 movies and TV shows commercial-free at no extra cost.

- Gorilla Glass covering the LCD display
