The Kindle Fire 2, Amazon’s expected upcoming Android-based media tablet, is rumored to be in production to ship starting as early as July, according to the China Times. If rumors are true, the tablet will again be built by Quanta, the same company that built the original Fire and Research in Motion’s Blackberry PlayBook tablet. According to the report, the Fire 2 will have a metallic frame, but there is no word on the size or components.
The Kindle Fire uses a highly modified version of Android, and offers complete access to its Prime service for owners. We reviewed the Kindle Fire back in November.
The original Kindle Fire sold at a loss for Amazon, and that is unlikely to change with the Fire 2, especially now that it has a new competitor in the Nexus 7.
Amazon has reportedly ordered two million Fire 2 units.
The Kindle Fire 2 was originally expected to release on August 7th, but according to the report may be announced and released in July or August. What do you think? Are you interested in the Kindle Fire 2?
