The...</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The in the near future to be launched new tablet from Amazon that was fairly recently announced by Jeff Bezos on 28th September has been creating a huge buzz amongst tech enthusiasts. The Kindle Fire presents the functionality of a tablet and in addition a colour e-Book reader, but at a very desirable low price level.<br /> <br /> The Fire is created primarily as a media consumption machine 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? Keep reading to locate out.<br /> <br /> Features of the [http://www.kindle-reviews.net ]<br /> <br /> seven inch color (IPS) touch screen (1024 x 6000 display quality)<br /> 8GB internal storage memory<br /> 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity<br /> Amazon Cloud for unlimited storage of content<br /> Light-weight, weighs just 413 grams<br /> A single charge provides up to eight hours of usage<br /> Headphone jack, built-in stereo speakers<br /> Free 1 month trial of Amazon Prime<br /> Design<br /> <br /> The Kindle Fire bears a powerful resemblance to the BlackBerry Playbook in terms of the weight and feel of the device. The design itself is amazingly streamlined, including just a power button on the unit. With its relatively small dimensions of seven.5 x 4.7 x 0.45 ins, the Fire is small sufficient to fit in a reasonably sized pocket or be held one-handed.<br /> <br /> Display<br /> <br /> The 7-inch multi-touch display with IPS (in plane switching) offers a maximum quality of 1024 x 600 at sixteen million colours. The ISP technology used provides a great range of viewing angles, allowing the display to be viewed at 178° and greater.<br /> <br /> Despite having a lower quality than the iPad, text on the Fire's display looks crisp and sharp. The display doesn't make use of e-Ink technology though nonetheless, so if you wish a Kindle primarily for reading I recommend among the earlier models which element an e-Ink display to reduce eye strain over extended periods.<br /> <br /> Connectivity<br /> <br /> The Fire isn't too strong on the connectivity front. There is support for Wi-Fi, yet no aid for Bluetooth, 3G or GPS. The headphone jack is really handy for when you wish to watch movies or listen to music in private.<br /> <br /> User-interface<br /> <br /> Amazon has taken a leaf from Apple's book and opted for simpleness when designing the Fire. The user-interface is incredibly easy and offers effortless navigation by means of the touch screen. There's a screen to flip via all of your digital content plus an icon tray to store your favorite items.<br /> <br /> Final Thoughts<br /> <br /> When all is claimed 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 shortage of cameras, extra internal storage options and 3G connectivity will be off-putting to some people who're after a full-fledged tablet experience, but for several who're after a pure media consumption device, what the Fire delivers will suffice.<br /> <br /> The low price level point of the Fire and its media capabilities are hugely appealing, making it worth serious consideration for anyone interested in enjoying media on the move.</div>
