Kindle Fire, Cheap Tablet From Amazon

Amazon finally really issued its first tablet, Kindle Fire. This 7-inch tablet uses the Android Operating System that has been modified as well as using a dual core processor. Kindle Fire is used for displaying their mainstay product.

 Kindle uses the old operating system Android is actually intended for smartphones. But the Kindle uses a different interface.

Interesting things Fire of the launch of Kindle is because the price is cheap. a Kindle Fire sold for U.S. $ 199 only. But it cost to manufacture one unit of   Kindle
Fire is U.S. $ 210. So every sale of   Kindle Fire, Amazon lost about U.S. $ 10.

Where does Amazon make a profit?

Kindle Fire is designed to market their mainstay product. Although the loss in terms of  Kindle device sales, profits will come from sales of their digital content services.

With low prices and support content, Kindle Fire will be a serious rival for manufacturers such as Apple's tablet. But the Kindle Fire has some shortagesuch as, does not have a camera, microphone and does not have 3G access and data storage capacity is only 8 GB. However, Amazon provides an online storage freely for storing movies, books and music.

Cloud computing is a term in which information is permanently stored in servers on the Internet and temporarily stored on the user or client computer such as desktop, tablet computers, notebooks, wall computers, handhelds, sensors, monitors and others. Cloud Computing is the combined use of computer technology (computing) and the development of Internet-based (cloud). The cloud is metefora from the internet, which is often depicted as clouds in computer network diagrams.


The initial idea of ​​cloud computing comes from a computing expert from MIT named John McCarthy in the 1960s. He stated that one day computing will be a public infrastructure such as electricity and telephones. Then in 1995, Larry Ellison led to the idea "Network Computing" as a campaign to sue Microsoft when it dominates desktop computing.

Larry Ellison stated user does not actually need software such as operating systems and other software running on their desktop pc. Later this idea can be realized in the early 21st century when it was discovered various techniques in software development and Internet capacity.


Nowadays more and more rapid development of the digital world. In 2010, all data stored in the world is 1.2 Zettabyte and will be 30 years 2020.Dengan Zettabyte on such developments required a special technique that is able megatasi computational problems.

The advantages of cloud computing include ease of access, flexible, large storage, saving cost and energy efficient. Cloud computing also has shortcomings such as the Internet connection should be sufficient, undoubtedly data security and quality issues server.

Looking at developments in the computing world is very rapid, cloud computing is a solution of computational problems to be faced. With so many advantages of cloud computing is that cloud computing will also be growing. Shortage faced will be minimized with a variety of infrastructure improvements and techniques used.
