Amazon Kindle Fire Steals The #1 Spot Away From The iPad For Top Selling Tablet On BestBuy.com
Well, what do we have here? Seems people don’t really care too much about specs after all. What do they care about? Cold, hard cash — and how much they can save of it. BestBuy is reporting that Amazon’s blazing hot Kindle Fire took the #1 spot as top selling tablet on their site, snatching the title away from Apple’s long time victor, the 16GB iPad.
Amazon’s tablet is a run away success that has managed to capture the hearts of consumers everywhere by aiming its sights where it matters most — the wallet. Cameras on a tablet? Who needs ’em. 10-inch display? Bah, humbug. Give consumers a device that’s priced right and capable of quick web browsing, has the power to shoot some birds across their air and they’ll eat it up.
While the Amazon Kindle Fire is a smash hit, I wouldn’t exactly say it’s been stealing customers away from the iPad. More than likely, the people purchasing the Fire either couldn’t afford or justify the iPad’s $500 price tag. Just goes to show you… if you build it (cheap enough) they will come.
