Probably one of the most exaggerating questions among the present-day techno freaks would be whether the newly launched Amazon Kindle Fire Android Tablet is an iPad Killer or it won’t really bother Apple in the first place So, let’s check that out in the following sections by detailing the important features related to this new tablet.
To be fair, the new Kindle Fire is not the professed “iPad Killer” some cited it to be, but as per IIHS iSuppli, the newly introduced model has already become the number 2-tablet in the present market.

It has been predicted that Amazon will ship nearly 3.9-Million Kindle Fires in the final 3-months of 2011 in order to secure at least 13.8 % of the market.
But, Apple will grab the majority of the present tablet market share by delivering nearly 18.6-Million iPads for 65.6% in the final 4th quarter of 2011.
Is Kindle an iPad Killer? If you ask this question to any highly knowledgeable techno enthusiast, he/she would answer you saying that presently there isn’t even a feeble chance. The new Fire IS tablet is need a great mid-range tablet, which doesn’t belong to iPad’s league, but its future versions may stand a chance to challenge Apple’s master creation.

I haven't heard anyone say anything particularly great about the Kindle Fire yet - it's not generating a buzz among my friends like iPad did. I disagree that it's not competing for the same market though - the tablet market hasn't fragmented into categories yet, all tablets are together as far as perception goes. One day we'll have segmentation by price bracket, screen size, capabilities and more, but that's at least 3-5 years away, the market's still emerging.
