  • Thumbs up if you love the kindle fire

  • I have this and absolutley love it I also have an ipad that mh family share I love thrm both but I favor my fire I love it ot is overall great

  • I just got this today. Gonna make an unboxing in a few minutes. Check out my channel to see it.

  • Thanks for the info. :-)

  • Hey Jon, Not sure if you will respond to this but, I am in a HUGE dillema. I want the kindle fire AND iPad 2. Money is tight for me, but I am thinking of getting the Fire because, if you think about it, you can get 2 Fire's for LESS than 1 iPad. Now that just made apple look bad. :-) So what are your thoughts? I just want to see if the Fire is worth it. thanks in advance. :-)

  • @2Nickdogg ipad is more expensive, but it has more apps, better build quality, and a much, much, much bigger screen. it has more media and a smoother user interface, not to mention a longer battery. However, if your money is tight, go with the fire, i did some research, and it costs amazon $201 to make a kindle fire. That's called a good deal. THey plan to make money from selling media.

  • im watching this video on my kindle fire right now lolz ")

  • i have to say a ipad is amazing! and this and that is no comparison excpept.................you could buy two of these and another kindle touch for twenty dollars cheaper than 1 ipad. sorry apple. maybe if you didnt make your products crazy expensive then more people could afford one!

  • @Drewerd615 Besides reading, it's a tablet, so you can get some apps for easy, lightweight productivity on the go (ofc, yes, you could get an Android phone instead :P).

  • I just won a kindle fire in a vex robotics competition. We got second. The team that got first got iPads. I'm just wondering what the kindle can do. Could someone tell me what it is mainly used for and if one could get much use out of it?

  • @Drewerd615 It's primarily used for reading but I use my not only for reading my books. I get my news papers and magazines... plenty of games!!!! Emails and you can watch movies, tv shows, and listen to music and because it has wifi you can search the web :)

  • @Drewerd615 Kindle is basically used for reading, but you can install apps on it. You should really consider buying a Blackberry Playbook though :)!

  • I have both ipad2 and kindle fire so ipad is my favorite but the kindle fire is very fast and really good for ppl with a budget no offence but its very good.

  • what? the box only contain the tablets and charger only

  • I know it's not better then the iPod touch iPod touch is way better then that crap even iPad is better then that

  • Love iPad 2 so much more. Don't care about how much heavier it feels, I love having a bulky case because it makes me feel like my iPad is nice & safe. & the Bluetooth keyboard I got for it makes my iPad like a tiny computer! So many apps and it's nice to have iCloud keeping it in sync with my iPod touch. Don't get kindle fire, my friends who have them say it gets laggy.

  • is there 3g and if so do you have to pay for it??

  • Shoot, meant iPad.

  • The iPad was way too heavy to carry around, but if you're cool with that get the Kindle.

  • @Rosaline891 the Kindle Fire is pocket-size and convenient. The iPad is big and heavier, and not that convenient to carry around. Kindle Fire is handier, and is a glorified e-reader. And is NOT in the same category as the over-rated iPad.

  • I'm really wondering if there's a YouTube app?

  • does it come with a screen protector on it?

  • Its like a mini iPad ^.^

  • I must get that tablet it's like a miniature iPad 2

  • Looks like a fun device! :D

  • Do you recommend the Kindle Fire?

  • I'm torn between Kindle Fire and ipad 2! I'll basically use Kindle for reading e-books. Correct me if I'm wrong but Kindle is the only tablet in the market which gives a paper feel (ink screen) whilst reading?

    

  • @JazzyJean I recommend getting the Kindle Fire. The iPad 2, gives you too much eye strain in so little time. I read on my iPad 2 for only 20 minutes each day. If i read longer, than my vision will get very blurry. I'm sure thats the same for you. But the Kindle Fire does not have that kind of technology that will make your eyes strain. I recommend Kindle Fire...

  • @spartanmstrEB so did i and i posted this comment on my kindle fire so for all u people who think im lying.......

  • i'm getting a kindle

    

  • Get the playbook......it's a hell lot bttr

  • quê num entendi meia grama;;

    acho que ate para quem fala ingles,é dificil entender esse cara!

  • Se ve brutal el Kindle fire .... I'm waiting @ Puerto Rico ....... Welcome 2 PR Kindle.

  • i cant wait i think im gonna get one they are soo cool

  • wow you have noooo life

  • As a tablet it looks great, but as an e-reader it doesn't look so great. It looks beautiful, but it doesn't quite compare to the rest of the kindles when it comes to a reading experience. I'd love for a kindle to be in color, but I'd rather be without the outside glare.

  • i have one love it pretty cool

  • I watched this on my kindle fire!

  • THE TAB HAS BEEN PULLED!!!

  • I'm getting a kindle fire tom!!!!!

  • i got a kindle fire for christmas and i had nooooooooo idea what was it or if it was crappy but in 1 day,,, I know what was it and looks like it aint crappy

  • BAM! Plastic if off! hahaha :D

  • Only 8gb of storage? That sucks!

  • Just picked it up today. I personally think all these tech reviewers are just apple fanboys. Because everyone is knocking this incredible product. Its been good so far. I was an Apple Fanboy, however this is a great product.

  • Thumbs up if you got this for Christmas, I know I did :)

  • @sneekyable Yeah! And... It broke. I'm series it stayed frozen on the kindle fire loading screen. Apparently you really need to make sure you update. There sending me another Thursday.

  • i got mine today and im on it right now,there great!!!!

  • can u watch videos or i think movies while wifi off?

  • @gravitylovebug1 No, You can't

  • wow i think i got one according to the shape of my present

  • "Hellooo Kindle, My name is Jon" HAHAHA Love IT!!!

  • @OfficialTimJohnson Lol, me too!!

  • OOOOOOOO CANT WAIT 4 CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

  • @BarrelRacer701 i got one i wasnt expecting it at all

  • u made this vid 1st than the kindle touch

  • Kindle Fire or iPad 2? The only thing holding me backf rom iPad 2 is the price. So which is worth it? hepl please.

  • I cant wait to get my kindle fire for christmas 2011!!!! Only 4 more days till kindle fire!!!!!! I have been like raping the replay button!!!

  • There are underneath that cardboard foam its a reward for ripping it apart.

  • who thinks i should get the kindle fire thumbs up if yes

  • Its a device not a person? It don't have a house , its a cardboard box and your kindle dont talk to you so no use in trying to talk to it (;

  • kindle fire is nothing compared to ipad 2. thumbs up if you agree

  • @flippy123100 No shit that's why it's $300 dollars cheaper. Moron -_-

  • @flippy123100 It's not trying to be. It's an e-reader with a tablet as its side-affects. It's not taking a shot at competing with the ipad because no tablet can do that.

  • Hopefully getting the Fire for christmas:) I really wanted the iPad but I already have an iPhone and my parents didn't really want to get me a $500 tablet. Seems kinda plain but I'm still really excited:)

  • does it have wifi where ever you go?

  • @RoboMuffin25 no, only if you have a 3g hotspot

  • @XtremeGaming123 do u need to pay?

  • @RoboMuffin25 for the 3g hotspot yes, you have to buy it and then pay monthly

  • @RoboMuffin25 lol no

  • @RoboMuffin25 What XtremeGaming123 is false, he needs to look his stuff up. First of all "Wi-Fi wherever you go is known as 3G". Second of all the the Kindle Fire does not have 3G at all. Sorry if I let down your expectations :(

  • I can't tell you how many times I have heard that phrase. 0:00 Love it haha!

  • @ibelieveinusa Whaaaaats up everyone

  • getting one for christmas 

  • im getting this for Hanukah!

  • my friends getting 1 for christmas. hes sooo freaken excited!

  • Me to! I hope

  • Getting one for Christmas!

  • @WhiteShadow1415 Me too! can't wait!

  • I have a question how do i put music on it without a sync cord. o.o

  • @billm2n the micro usb cords works as a sync cord... if u have i tunes u will have to drag and drop into ur music file

  • @jordanballer2396 Thank you =D

  • catch fire LOL 0:23

  • The only reason i'm not getting this is the lack of bluetooth :(

    If I could pair my PS3 controller with it then i'd have bought it on launch day.

  • getting 1 in a week....cant wait!!!!!!

  • AND its got a camera so BOOM!

  • @baconimos123 and its 4x the price! BOOM!

  • ipad2 is longer battery life, 10 hours AHA!

  • thumbs up if u saw the sasquatch commercial lol

  • Getting it for christmas!!!!On a scale from 1-10 how would you recomemd it??

  • got one today! I was happy till I found out that it was slow in the internet and it gets hangs :(

  • @piinkc0okie the wifi in your house must be crappy, because my kindle fire is super fast.

  • Dear santa...........

  • Like this if you want one for christmas:)

  • getting one for christmas

    

  • Nice video...getting one for Christmas!

  • If this had a microSD card slot I'd buy one =(.

  • @haloman800 You don't need one. It sync everything to amazon's cloud storage. So you can delete and redownload it later from the slim chance you fill its memory unless you are one of those people who reads an ungodly amount of books per year.

  • so is there anyway to hook it up to the computer?

  • Im 11 and im gettin this for cristmas from my dad

  • @JU2T1Nx26 Awesome, congrats =3.

  • i just got that thing yestoday. Its fucking awsome

  • hhhhaaahhaaahhaaa you funny

  • Cool

  • No as he mentioned it does not have a 3G signal, which in your case would be a "wifi" signal. You only have coverage were you are connected to a router.

  • Comment removed

  • @smileygirlxoxo1 No. Wifi is not like your cellphone service. You need a router that spits out Wifi signals to use Wifi.

  • Comment removed

  • Jon, do you keep a case on your iPad 2? If so, which case?

  • does it come with headphones?

  • @monsterhighwater as shown.. no

  • @mrzachy345 me too!

  • this has really...kindled my interest

    good one jon

  • im not sure does it have intenet everywhere?

  • What's up Jon great review as always

  • Yea mrzachy345 so am i and i am gettting oneeeeee twwwwoooo

  • @mrzachy345, holy shit me too, and im also 11. kinda creepy

  • @1patrickryan me too

    

  • I got myself one of these. It is fantastic for its price. However, that's also its downfall, it is as standard as it gets. I personally prefer my Transformer many times over despite being double the price.

  • Getting one for Christmas mom got one everybody started hogging it so now we get our own I am 13 and I love my moms and looking forward to getting my own.

  • Your not very fond of boxes are you...

  • im getting a Kindle Fire from my grandmother for christmas and im only 11 years old

  • @MrZachy345 I AM ALSO 11 AND GETTING IT FOR CHRISTMAS FROM MY GRANDMOTHER... WEIRD.

  • @adrianzjawin1 im 11 too! im getting for christmas, but from parents!!! :)

  • Its like a family reunion. The other kindle is like that cool cousin that lives far away so you only get to see them every like 2 years. And then the Ipad is that one cousin that you never talk to but you akwardly hug them everytime you meet........

  • @Bebo733733 HI

  • do you need to pay the subscription fee to amazon to get all the specs like the app store , the web browser, comics and movies?

  • 0:58 hello kindle, my name is jon. LOL

  • Firegtablet

  • Sux it's just a cheaper 1st gen iPad

  • Did they design it upside down?

  • can't wait. $200 :))

  • Nook, you mad bro?

  • You know that there are going to be people out there that are going to hack this to run full edition of Android and even a way to install the Google Android Market.

  • Lag lag lag

  • Good price,but this kindle fire is no fire...just buy a real tablet this thing has tons of lag

  • EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWE I LIKE MY NOOK WAY BETTER THAN THIS!

  • I LOVE YOU JON!!!

  • I am glad I have a NOOK!!!

  • This tablet costed Amazon $190.99 to make, they are betting on the customer to get a profit from books and music.

  • I got the kindle fire yesterday (11/15/11)! It's great, anyone thinking about getting it should! It's great!

  • is this only available in the US ?

  • @JoshTalksApple Yes.

  • one of the best tablets in my opinion, and a great prize

  • so would you say the kindle fire is the same size as a dvd case?

  • I watched three unboxing videos of this, thecreativeone,soldierknowsbes­t,and jon4lakers,and no one could get the instructions out of the top correctly.haha

  • You finally got the kindle !

  • @LakoonPlay I use camera on iPad 2 mostly for skype so I gues ppl would like to uset in that purpise on Kindle Fire as well...

  • unboxtherapy puts more effort in their unboxing videos

  • after all of the tablets i've seen, i might be actually getting this one !

  • lol 69 ha ha ha ha

  • "...or optimus" Hahaha so good.

  • 1:44 that's what she said ;)

  • Nah

  • best opening I've heard in awhile..

  • Where's the start of unboxing shortcut?

  • Wait...that's not ridiculous battery is it? Don't like all tablets run videos for like 10hrs while still on Wifi...?

  • @DuhDonkeyKong no this one's battery isnt ridiculous, previous kindles could go for months without needing a charge he was talking about previous kindles ;)

  • Nice toutorial

    

  • Hack and romo..hack and rom

  • can u sideload apps???

  • in the beginning he said that Amazon is "staying away from the traditional e-ink display to traditional tablets". Which one is traditional anyway?

  • haha "some other bad joke"

  • i want one, i want one, iwantoneiwantonnnne!!!

  • "Not prime as in awsome or Optimus" haha

  • It's amazons first attempt at a tablet, and no one should be comparing it to the iPad.every company has to start somewhere.

  • You were practicably done with the Unboxing at 1:59...

  • My car and house. My subscription to your channel.

  • Or... Optimus... rofl!

  • i cant wate to get mine!

  • "Hell Kindle, this is Jon."? That might work better with the iPhone...
