Amazon Kindle Fire - A Review

Labels: , ,

ByT M Curtis

With the introduction of the Kindle Fire Amazon.com has decided to take on the computer giant Apple and they are not using a sling shot. On Sept. 28, 2011 Amazon took the raps off its entry into the Apple iPad dominated computer tablet market, with a tablet that not only exhibits some of the features of its competitor but offers it at half the price. The Kindle Fire sells for $199, while the iPad starts at $499 a bold strike that comes at the beginning of the holiday shopping season. The Kindle Fire will be available for sale starting on November 15th.

The Amazon Kindle Fire sports a 7 inch display which falls a couple inches short of the iPad's display but depending on how much viewing space you need you should find it functional. The Fire uses a state of the art dual-core processor the TI OMAP 4 as compared to Apple's A5 dual-core processor. The speed of these two processor's check in at 1Ghz so nothing is lost in a comparison of processor speeds. The Fire features 8GB of storage and does not offer the option of increasing memory where the iPad does. However Amazon offers free online storage through the Amazon Cloud, for all your digital content accessed via Amazon.

The Amazon Silk is an innovative cloud accelerated browser that splits the work of webpage loading between two interfaces thus making loading webpages a breeze as well as conserving the life of the battery. One of the unique features of the tablet that cannot be offered by most tablet manufacturers is that the purchaser can access the massive media content that Amazon can dole out. They offer access to over 100,000 movies and TV programs, endless numbers of reading material, games and the like. You can view magazines in vivid color displayed over 16 million colors via the touchscreen. The Fire weighs in at 413 grams or 14.6 ounces for the uninitiated. The battery life reaches 8 hours if you are reading books, a little less for continued video use.

It's Wi-Fi capable so you can read e-mail and just about anything you might ordinarily do on the web. It accesses hotspots and Wi-Fi networks that feature 802.11b,802.11n and 802.11g. The Kindle Fire tablet runs on the Android operating system and that gives users access to Google's Android Apps Market. So though the Apple store touts a few more offerings than Amazon in the Apps department, Android Apps will not allow the Fire user to feel neglected.

The Kindle Fire is sure to become a very hot commodity this holiday season.For more information and where to get the best price visit. buy a kindle fire tablet
