The web browser on Kindle Fire introduces a radical new paradigm -- a "split browser" architecture that accelerates the power of the mobile device hardware by using the computing speed and power of the Amazon Web Services Cloud. The result is a faster web browsing experience, and it's available exclusively on Kindle Fire.

  • Our backend has the fattest pipes! Nice....

  • Hm I'm not sure. Seems that the ec2 is your proxy with some UA depending postprocessing stuff + cache. This isn't really new. I would like to see an technical report about amazonsilk. And not like this video a bunch of people who speak about how innovative they are and how much they like the project. If I want to hear such things I would listen to the apple keynote conference.

  • @TheTeevo8 You clearly don't work in the tech field

  • Congratz...you have managed to copy the concept behind Opera mini, ....

    And Opera mini was launched 7 Years ago, and is still in use...ON Mobiles, Wow, that was great thinking of You guys, Quite an "innovation" NOT !!!

    Silk might be a good browser (or not) but for these ppl to claim that they came up with the "split browser concept" is in my view nothing short of intellectual dishonesty...

    We have ...bla bla...psht no shame

  • That bearded guy seemed kinda nervous

  • Cool Google videos imitation FAIL

  • What is the value? Cloud this, cloud that. This cloud thing has been tossed around for 10+ years. Yes, it's kinda convenient, but not enough to pay $ for it. I work for a Fortune 100 company myself and between family, friends, and coworkers, I don't know of anyone talking about cloud. It's not on people's or enterprise radar. The market is currently too small.

  • an online bookstore trying very hard to be google

  • @j00mi I think you're right, they're just making a big fuss about it when in the end all they're talking about is a cache system...

  • OPERA and Opera Mini for cellphones/tablets, with its Turbo function, does the same thing

    .

    And it's been doing it for almost 10 years now

    .

    All amazon did was copy what Opera engineers were already doing. Amazon did not invent anything new

    .

  • RIPOFF FROM ONLIVE'S WEB BROWSER!!!!
