Color Kindle 4 Touch Tablet!

Kindle Fire Tablet

Update: Well it is here at last the first color Kindle, the Kindle Fire! A 7" touch-screen tablet offering consumers the chance to finally enjoy multi-functionality and mobile computing without a scary price-tag!

You can order the latest Kindle Fire here.

Or read on for a little more information regarding the fastest selling tablet today...

This won't be a list of technical specifications, instead we will look at what we actually care to know about our potential gadgets (i.e. what it does that we will use!).

Kindle Fire Details

7" multi touch screen display. With full color and wide viewing angle. Coated to prevent glare and chemically treated to make it super tough "Gorilla Glass".
Stereo speakers and headphone jack. This will make a great device for listening to music since it is tied in with Amazon's music store which currently offers over 17million songs for download.
Really vibrant color (16 million displayed) makes it great for watching video. With over 100,000 films and TV shows available for live streaming or download you should be kept entertained for a good while!
Built in Kindle reading app means you can read to your hearts content. Add it to your current Kindle account and share titles across devices.
Wi-fi capability for web-browsing. The device itself doesn't waste resources when you're online either since it teams up with Amazon's own cloud computing network to speed up your online activities using the new Silk web browser.
Dual core processor makes everything quick.
8GB memory is enough for some. But if you have a growing collection of content, don't worry its all backed up in Amazon's cloud so just delete some from your tablet, and you can always stream or download it any time you have the wi-fi connected.
The battery life is around 7.5 to 8 hours (wi-fi switched off), and it will take about 4 hours to charge.
Built in web email apps mean you can start using gmail, yahoomail, hotmail etc to tell all your friends your Kindle Fire has been delivered as soon as it arrives!
Built in WhisperSync lets you synchronise across devices easily. Read part of a book on this, and then continue on your e-ink based reader, or watch half a film on it and than continue on your wi-fi TV.

The Kindle tablet has a lot going for it as well as the cool low price! But if you want an ebook reader just to read, save you money and order a cheap Kindle Reader instead so you can still enjoy reading in sunshine!

And now back to what we thought the tablet might be, before it was finally released...

Amazon never pre-announce news of their upgrades until the release of their next generation Kindles are imminent. So it is no wonder that the rumour mill is working over-time to find out just what is likely to happen in the wonderful world of Kindle next.

The possibilities are endless of course. We would expect speedier refresh that might eventually allow video to be viewed, maybe even better battery life or larger memory. In fact all the usual stuff that improves every time a new generation of any gadget is released. Frankly that stuff is all a little boring. What we want to know is what the big changes will be.

Here are a few of my personal favorite Kindle 4 rumours with a little information about just how likely they might be:

Kindle Color

A color Kindle has always been possible. But it would have meant switching from e-ink to LCD screens. That move would have destroyed many of the distinct advantages of an e-ink ebook reader. The battery run time would have been reduced to a matter of hours rather than weeks, and the comfortable experience of reading for hours without eye-strain would have been gone.

Now though, the brains at e-ink have created a full color version of their easy on the eye, low power screens. Hanvon unveiled the first color e-ink ebook reader at CES 2011 and are set to release it onto the Chinese market later in the year. Our guess is that the color Hanvon WiseReader is a success an Amazon Kindle in Color could be on the way.

Touch Screen Kindle

Everything nowadays seems to have a touch-screen, except the current Kindle. Frankly we think Amazon are missing a trick here. Sure, in the early days ebook readers were aimed at an older, more traditional audience that wanted to read without tiring their eyes.

Now though the ebook reader is gaining headway within a much younger target audience and these guys simply expect touch-screen navigation on everything.

Ditch the keyboard and make room for a larger Kindle touch display. Sony revamped their whole electronic reader range later in 2011, adding touch-screen navigation to all their ebook readers. It has brought them bang up to date making them sexier, far less clunky looking and truly improved.

An Amazon Kindle Touch has to be on its way - they even bought a touch-screen company (TouchCo) in 2009 and we haven't seen why yet!

The Kindle Tablet?

Well you could not fail to notice that the tablet PC is pretty popular for 2011. In fact they seem to be breeding like rabbits, with more and more planned for release this year.

Maybe Amazon will simply keep the current Kindle 3 designated ebook readers, basic, monochrome and QWERTY keypad enabled, and instead bring us an additional item, A Kindle Tablet rather than a Kindle 4 Reader.

There is nothing to stop them - but we're not sure as the tablet PC seems sexier than Amazon. But once we all have our eyes on them perhaps, maybe and fingers crossed Amazon will come up with a low priced Tablet Kindle that can compete with the big boys like Apple and Samsung.

Really Though - The 4th Generation Kindle...

Oh come one, we simply don't know but a Color Kindle Touch Tablet is possible so who knows. I have to say I can't wait to find out though what the next gen Kindle Reader will end up being.
