De MobileCells
The rapidly to be launched completely new tablet from Amazon which was lately announced by Jeff Bezos on 28th September has been creating a huge buzz amongst tech enthusiasts. The Kindle Fire supplies the functionality of a tablet and as well a color e-Book reader, but at an incredibly appealing low rate.
The Fire is designed primarily as a media use gadget which runs on a modified version of the Android OS. Does the Kindle Fire have what it takes to scorch the competition in the tablet planet and be the tablet to beat or does it fall short? Read on to locate out.
Features of the kindle fire review
seven inch colour (IPS) touch screen (1024 x 6000 display quality) 8GB internal storage memory 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity Amazon Cloud for unlimited storage of content Light-weight, weighs just 413 grams A single charge supplies up to eight hours of usage Headphone jack, built-in stereo speakers Free 1 month trial of Amazon Prime Design
The Kindle Fire bears a robust resemblance to the BlackBerry Playbook in terms of the weight and feel of the device. The design itself is really streamlined, including just a power button on the unit. With its relatively small dimensions of seven.5 x 4.7 x 0.45 in ., the Fire is small sufficient to fit in a reasonably sized pocket or be held one-handed.
Display
The 7-inch multi-touch display with IPS (in plane switching) provides a maximum quality of 1024 x 600 at 16 million colors. The ISP technology used provides a very good range of viewing angles, allowing the display to be viewed at 178° and greater.
In spite of having a lower quality than the iPad, text on the Fire's display looks crisp and sharp. The display does not make use of e-Ink technology though nonetheless, so if you want a Kindle primarily for reading I recommend among the earlier models which feature an e-Ink display to lessen eye strain over extended periods.
Connectivity
The Fire isn't too strong on the connectivity front. There is help for Wi-Fi, yet no assistance for Bluetooth, 3G or GPS. The headphone jack is amazingly handy for when you wish to watch movies or listen to music in private.
User-interface
Amazon has taken a leaf from Apple's book and opted for simpleness when designing the Fire. The user-interface is pretty simple and offers effortless navigation by using the touch screen. There is a screen to flip via all your digital content plus an icon tray to store your favorite items.
Final Thoughts
When all is stated and done, the Kindle Fire isn't an iPad killer, yet it sure packs a punch with its spec and is a fantastic entry for Amazon into the tablet market. The deficiency of cameras, extra internal storage options and 3G connectivity will be off-putting to some people who're after a full-fledged tablet experience, yet for numerous who're after a pure media usage machine, what the Fire delivers will suffice.
The low cost point of the Fire and its media capabilities are hugely alluring, making it worth serious consideration for anyone intrigued in enjoying media on the move.
