It’s no secret that Amazon takes a while with a new Kindle Fire in mind, when a product like the giant media tablet internet sales triumphs in such an exaggeration – it is recalled that were estimated up to 5 million units sold when ended the year in just three months – it is clear that in addition to squeezing the most, a sequel is almost inevitable. However the possibility has become a very persistent rumor, especially in recent weeks, becoming something more public today after seen similar reports in multiple specialized websites.

For the first generation Kindle Fire , Amazon left it to Quanta , manufacturer’s single tablet, the decision of which components would be integrated to form the final product, with a production cost of $ 250, causing a loss of $ 50 per unit, something that fortunately for the company, was offset by the sale and distribution of software and digital content. To avoid a similar incident a second time, Amazon plans to engage directly on these decisions, and have the final word on what kind of components will be part of Kindle Fire 2 , to minimize manufacturing costs and prevent possible “failure” as the absence of grooves criticized storage expansion. According to the report of Unwired Reviews , China Times seems to have hit a reliable source in the supply chain has been suggested that an agreement with Foxconn as the second manufacturer, so that Amazon would have a second source of units to ensure the stock even with high levels of demand.

Although respondents have not provided information on the technical specifications of the device, have ensured that component suppliers will begin to make the first shipments in March, leaving a launch window between the months of May and June before the summer to avoid problems distribution derived from the summer. The expected improvements are logical in these cases, ranging from the solution to various “offenses” such as communications hardware bluetooth, memory card slot or more direct control options – such as physical buttons for volume – a hardware update, line with market requirements.
