Amazon Kindle Fire announced, Official specs revealed

Today, Amazon revealed a brand new colored screen tablet, Amazon Fire. The announcement was made by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos today at around 10 a.m. ET.

For the past few weeks, Amazon’s reps refused to tell any information about the product and even denied its existence. Nevertheless,  the Android-based tablet, Amazon’s Kindle Fire, is already here with a hefty price tag of $199.
