Software : Twitter's Vine video app arrives on Amazon Kindle Fire tablets |
| Twitter's Vine video app arrives on Amazon Kindle Fire tablets Posted:  Twitter's Vine video app has graduated to a new platform this weekend and is now available to download from the Amazon app store for Kindle Fire tablets. The app, which allows users to create and upload short, 6-second video clips, had only been available on Apple's iPhone or Android smartphones. Vine's arrival on Kindle Fire is the first time the app has been optimised specifically for a tablet device. The decision to launch on the Kindle Fire is somewhat surprising considering the questionable quality of the device's front-facing camera and the lack of any rear-facing camera. There's also no Vine app for Windows Phone and BlackBerry 10 at this time. Instagram attacksVine's expansion comes following new competition from Facebook-owned Instagram, which rolled out its own short video feature earlier this month. Reports this week had suggested uploads to Vine had taken a hit as a result of Instagram's encroachment on its reason for being. To combat the new rival, Twitter updated the Vine Android app earlier this week to include support for the front-facing camera, bringing it in line with the iOS app. |
