Amazon "Fire" Tablet?

[Crowes]

Over in the UK, Amazon seems to be releasing a new tablet on the 30th of September.

 

It looks like this:

 

 

Minus the stupidly large bezel, I don't mind the size. It's priced at a cheap 49.99(GBP) and it will have access to the Amazon Appstore, which isn't that far off Google Play.

Has anyone else seen this?

Yes. We have seen this. They even sell them in 6 packs. Buy 6 for the price of 5.

 

 

Extremely cheap almost useless device, good for kids I guess. Christmas present for all.

The most successful Counterattack on iPads was pulled with the original Fire tablet.

This is $50 from a reputable company, if you want it, than get it.
