Kindle Fire

TechCrunch über eine Studie von der Appanalytics-Firma Localytics:

The U.S. is Amazon’s first and main market for the Kindle Fire, with Amazon only starting to roll out the tablets to other markets towards the end of 2012 (first in the UK market), around a year after launching in the U.S.

That means that some 89% of Amazon’s tablets “live in America, with most of the rest in Great Britain,” writes Localytics’ Daniel Ruby. “After those two, no other country has even one percent of worldwide Kindle Fires.”

In the rest of the world, however, the Android tablet game is Samsung’s to lose. Ruby tells me that the Korean device maker’s Galaxy line accounts for 76% of all Android tablet usage across non-U.S. markets. Nexus 7 came in second at 15%, and Kindle Fire’s global share is just 9%.

Scheint so, als tritt Amazons Kindle Fire den (erwartbaren) Marsch durch das Ökosystem von Android an. Wenn dieser Trend anhält, könnte Amazon bereits Ende 2012 der wichtigste Android-Player nach Google sein, der dann bereits anfängt, selbst dem Plattformprovider Google Konkurrenz zu machen.

Das Kindle Fire von Amazon springt aus dem Stand auf Platz 1 der Android-Tablets und auf Platz 2 der Tablets hinter dem iPad. TechCrunch:

The Kindle Fire looks like a bona fide hit right out of the gate. New estimates from IHS iSuppli have Amazon shipping 3.9 million Kindle Fires this quarter, which would make it the No. 2 tablet after the iPad 2 (with an estimated 18.6 million shipments). The Kindle Fire will become the No. 1 Android tablet by a wide margin (the Samsung Galaxy Tab is the next biggest, with an estimated 1.4 million shipments).

Und das obwohl die Hardware nicht gut ist.

Neben Conde Nast hat auch das Wall Street Journal eine exklusive App für das Kindle Fire herausgebracht.
