Record Weekend for Amazon Devices—Up 3x Over Last Year, with Millions of Devices Sold
The new $49.99 Fire tablet is the fastest-selling Amazon tablet ever, with millions sold since launch -- Amazon tablet sales this weekend are up more than 3x year over year.
With its 1024 x 600 resolution, I don't know how people can put up with it.
CNet seems to think it's the cat's meow: 5 reasons to buy Amazon's $50 tablet -- and one not to. They also stupidly say it's good for reading. Only if you hate your eyes.
If Amazon is making a profit on that tablet, consider what the manufacturing cost was. $15? $20?
Anyway, their site -- at post time -- reports it won't be in stock until December 24(!).
Hey, Tim Cook, how's that iPad pricing going?
