SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Amazon on Thursday unveiled a slate of higher-end tablets that for the first time feature its Alexa+ voice assistant and run on Google's Android operating system, a bet that consumers will pay more for premium devices after years of focusing on the budget end of the market.
Seattle-based Amazon had been working on the tablets under the code nameKittyhawk, as Reuters reported exclusively last year, to transition away from its more limited homegrown Fire OS operating system software, after years of gripes from consumers and app developers. Fire OS is a “forked” version of Android, with modifications to make it work like a unique operating system.

旧金山，10 月 8 日（路透社）——亚马逊周四推出了一系列高端平板电脑，这些平板电脑首次搭载了 Alexa+ 语音助手，并运行谷歌的 Android 操作系统。亚马逊押注消费者在多年专注于低端市场之后，将愿意为高端设备支付更高的价格。
据路透社去年独家报道，总部位于西雅图的亚马逊一直在研发代号为“Kittyhawk”的平板电脑，旨在摆脱其自主研发的、功能较为有限的Fire OS操作系统。此前，消费者和应用开发者多年来一直抱怨Fire OS。Fire OS是Android的“分支”版本，经过修改后，其功能类似于一个独立的操作系统。
