Glu to support Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet with six launch games
There's been a lot of news emerging from Glu Mobile's recent financial numbers and the subsequent analyst call.

One forward looking topic is the company's support for Amazon's forthcoming Kindle Fire tablet.

Although not mentioning titles, Glu says it will be supporting the US 15 November launch with around six games.

We'd expect Gun Bros., Contract Killer and Big Time Gangsta to be among that list.

Tilting the price

This move isn't a massive surprise as Glu was a strong supporter of original launch of Amazon's Appstore for Android, and currently has over a dozen game available via the store.

Generally, the company is bullish about Android, and with good reason; 34 percent of its Q3 revenue came from the platform.

"We are excited by the vibrancy with which the Android ecosystem continually evolves. Glu believes Amazon has unique content and e-commerce advantages to bring to bear with its aggressively-priced tablet offering," commented CEO Niccolo de Masi.
