If you mean the original Kindle Fire, it was apparently based heavily on the Blackberry Playbook. Both the KF and Playbook designs were outsourced to a third party company (I forgot the name).

I believe Quanta Computer designed one of the Kindle Fire versions if not all. I think manufacturing is mostly at Foxconn.

Most of the input surely came from the marketing department at Amazon. For the most part, the Kindle Fire is considered mostly to be a gateway to the Amazon store.
