Sold vs Shipped
“Thursday’s media reports of Kindle Fire sales collapsing after a stellar launch are misleading, a leading analyst says, and an indication that many tech bloggers and journalists don’t understand the difference between “shipments” and “sales” of a product.”
This is good trending advice, do not mistake shipments for sales leads

Kindle Fire Grabs Over 50 Percent of the Android Tablet Market
Glad to be a Kindle Fire owner, looking forward to the Kindle Fire 2
The bewildering array of Android hardware used to mean that no single device had the power to grab a significant market share of the Android tablet market. That all changed as soon as Amazon’s Kindle Fire hit the scene.
According to latest figures from market research firm comScore, in a little over four months following its release, the Amazon’s Kindle Fire has come from nowhere to grab a whopping 54.4 percent of the U.S. Android tablet market. Way behind the Kindle Fire is the Samsung Galaxy Tab with 15.4 percent, and way behind that is the Motorola Xoom with 7 percent market share.

Journey to the Amazon, Store not Jungle (Part 2: Amazon App Store)
Today I’d like to talk about the Amazon App Store for Android.
Though the Amazon’s App Store may not have as many Android apps as Google’s own Market, its selection of apps is very good and well tested( no malware ) Another advantage I see of having Amazons App Store is the ability to load it on other non Google certified hardware such as tablets from Vizio, Velocity Micro etc….
Of course the best bonus is the FREE app of the day which is prominently displayed at the top of the App Store, which encourages users to come back daily to see what free apps they can pick up, as well as see discounts on other popular programs.
I still patiently wait for my Amazon Kindle Fire to arrive next month. Leave some comments.

Will the Kindle Fire suceed when its released next month. I belive so.
On my next post I will delve further into the Amazon Ecosystem with Amazon MP3 and Amazon’s Cloud Player.
Stay tuned.
Journey to the Amazon. (Store not Jungle)
For those who have not seen it. The new Amazon Kindle Fire will be out this November. In preparation for this new device, I have decided to try out the various Amazon Android applications.
I will post my thoughts on using Amazon services on my HTC Sensation 4G and then compare the experience to the Kindle Fire when released.
