And Kindle Fire announced, the tablet.

"7 inch IPS display. ultra wide viewing angle. fast dual core processor. light, easy to hold in one hand, 14.6 oz, has all the content"

"And all of the content on this device is backed up in the cloud so you can delete things whenever you want. Model of backing up your own content is a broken model. Feel same way about syncing."

"Syncing just like with Kindle Books should be done invisibly in the background and wirelessly and it should actually work"

"Customers love our whispersync feature for books, keep track of page. What if WSync also worked with movies and TV shows? Well it does. When you get home, switch to your big screen TV, movie will be right where you left it."

-Watching XMen. 16m colors. 169ppi. Gorilla Glass.
-Usual features like multitasking, play music and read at the same time.
-Web browsing is now going to be partially processed by the cloud to ease the burden on the tablet and increase speed of browsing. Sounds like lots of caching on the cloud of sites.

$199, shipping November 15, pre-order at this point is US only.
