"Amazon&amp;#039;s new Kindle Fire tablet has been met with largely positive reactions from technology journalists after yesterday&amp;#039;s glitzy launch, but analysts are sceptical over claims that it is the &amp;quot;iPad killer&amp;quot;. Comparisons have been drawn between the Kindle Fire, with its seven-inch screen, and the Blackberry Playbook, the tablet computer which has proved a failure for Research In Motion since its launch in April. The technical specifications of the Android-powered Kindle Fire have also underwhelmed journalists, particularly the product&amp;#039;s lack of camera and internal storage.  However, two major strengths have been highlighted that set the tablet apart from the PlayBook - its price of $199 (\u00A3127) and the content relationships that online retailer Amazon already has in place, including books, movies, music and magazines. Giving its hands on impressions of the device, Wired.com said: &amp;quot;The Fire looks awfully similar to Research in Motion&amp;#039;s failed BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, as both are seven-inch sleek black slates. Some may also hate the Fire&amp;#039;s lack of internal storage space. &amp;quot;But Amazon, like Apple, has what all other tablet companies don&amp;#039;t - streaming video-on-demand services, a massive library of MP3s, even its own app store. Where all other devices have failed to seriously give Apple a run for its money, Amazon seems to have the best shot.&amp;quot; Influential tech blog "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
