Amazon launches $50 Fire tablet Thursday Sep 17,2015

 

The Fire boasts specifications that tablets twice its price struggle to offer; the aptly named release could well reignite the market just in time for the holiday season.
"Today, we're taking another step in our mission to deliver premium products at non-premium prices," said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com founder and CEO, of his company's latest device. "Fire sets a new bar for what customers should expect from a low cost tablet."
