When Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet ships next week, users will be able to instantly download popular apps that the company has specifically tested on the new tablet like Pandora, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, and more via one-click payment in the Amazon Appstore.
"We started talking to app developers everywhere the day we introduced Kindle Fire, and the response has been overwhelming," vice president of Amazon Kindle, Dave Limp, said in a statement. "In addition to over 18 million movies, TV shows, songs, gooks, and magazines from Amazon, we are excited to offer customers thousands of apps and games to choose from on Kindle Fire–from Pandora and Rhapsody to Facebook and Twitter to Netflix, as well as popular games from EA, Zynga, and many other top game developers. And this is only the beginning–we're adding more apps and games every day across all categories. "
Amazon said it will offer "several thousand" apps in an array of categories including games, social networking, entertainment, news, sports, and more. Once an app is downloaded, it will be available on the Kindle Fire, as well as other Android-based gadgets the user owns.
The $199 Kindle Fire will ship Nov. 15. Amazon said last month that it's ramping up production on the tablet because demand for the device has exceeded its original expectations.
