With the launch of the Amazon Kindle Fire only a few weeks away, just about everyone is speculating on how it might affect the tablet business. For its part, Amazon believes that it should be able to secure a sizable portion of the tablet space with its device and, thus, put some real pressure on the leader in the market, Apple. Chances are that Amazon might be right. Based on the data available now, Amazon has reportedly ordered more Kindle Fire units than it initially anticipated. What’s more, the company’s decision to make it easy for the millions of people who visit Amazon every day to find the tablet on its home page has improved sales, and that will only continue to help them in the future. Meanwhile, other tablet vendors trying to grow their market share will find themselves overshadowed by not one, but now two premier tablet makers.
