Less than a week until Amazon's Kindle Fire rolls out on November 15, and Amazon has unveiled the apps it hope consumers will download en masse at launch.
Titles from the likes of Zynga, EA, Gameloft, PopCap and Rovio will be available from day one, while apps such as Netflix, Rhapsody, Pandora, Twitter, Comics by comiXology, Facebook and The Weather Channel have also been secured.
Overwhelming apps
"We started talking to app developers everywhere the day we introduced Kindle Fire, and the response has been overwhelming," said Amazon Kindle VP Dave Limp.
"In addition to over 18 million movies, TV shows, songs, books, 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 claims apps featured on its Appstore for Android will be Kindle Fire tested, with the company vowing to give away one paid app for free each day.
