Amazon Kindle Fire: Unboxing & Review

[Miglink1234]

2 things.... can u watch youtube videos in kindle fire???????????? can u plug it in ur computer to pass ur music from itunes or something????????

[DetroitBORG]

@Miglink1234 Yes, you can watch YouTube on the Kindle Fire. You can connect an aux cable to the headphone jack in your car, or a USB cable to access your music files like a giant thumb drive.

[XavianBrother]

i got mines for free yesterday

[SNIPERLEGEND234]

my birthday is in 13 days and im turning 12 and im getting a kindle fire it seems really coool and thxs for the review because of u when i showed this to my dad he said yessssss so i was so happy and i totally subscribed best review for the kindle ever keep it up

[DetroitBORG]

@SNIPERLEGEND234 Excellent, thank you! And congrats no your new Kindle fire!

[SheilaLynn15]

Shoot if there's a kindle 2 coming out I might wait..... YAH RIGHT!!! :-/

[DetroitBORG]

@SheilaLynn15 Yes, I'm sure there will be. Who knows when that'll be however, rumors have it as soon as this summer.

[monkeypooflinger1000]

who buys 4 kindles!?!

[SNIPERLEGEND234]

@monkeypooflinger1000 no he means he has more than 1 amazon kindle for example he has a kindle touch a nook and the amazon kindle 4 and then hes got the kindle fire so that equals four different devices stupid

[DetroitBORG]

@monkeypooflinger1000 You're looking at him ;)

[FalconFly29]

Can u buy like saxon math books because im in school and I need it cause bookbag is way to heavy

[heyhihellohowdy]

@DetroitBORG i love the videos, i am n ew with the nooks, and kindle, and i have a question, Like the Ipod, and pad can you download music from your computer? that would be awesome if you could :D

[DetroitBORG]

@heyhihellohowdy Yes you can. With the Kindle Fire, you would connect it to your computer via USB. Drag and drop the music files to the Music folder on your Kindle. You can also upload music to your Amazon Prime account if you have one.

[7devinsalb]

How much is an average book and how long does the battery last? Nice video altogether!

[DetroitBORG]

@7devinsalb I think the average book is about $12. The battery life varies, I get about 8 hours if I use it non-stop.

[jd29858ableable]

howd u know that theres a kindle fire 2

[SNIPERLEGEND234]

i had to subscribe u really did a good review probebly the best i seen yet

[DetroitBORG]

@SNIPERLEGEND234 Excellent, glad to hear it!

[jd29858ableable]

say maybe in the kindle fire 2nd generation it might have a built in camera in it and maybe lighter because its a little bit heavier than the ipad 2 right

[DetroitBORG]

@jd29858ableable The Kindle Fire weights less than a pound, the iPad 2 weights 1.3lbs. I imagine a camera is coming with the next Kindle Fire 2, or perhaps the large Fire.

[allyalexalexandraify]

@theblackninja851 no you have to enter your wifi password if your wifi is secqured

[theblackninja851]

when it says enter password for internet use is that the password for your regular internet like verizon?

[DetroitBORG]

@theblackninja851 My Wireless Access Point (Time Capsule) is protected by a password, therefore I'm prompted to enter it when I attempt to use it for the first time.

[NinjaKillsPokemon]

Thanks, now I know what to do on the 21st!

[vmariani212]

@NinjaKillsPokemon I know what to do Tomorrow!

[HobyoGirl]

is the web browser the same as any computer. that i can navigate any website like youtube or it has a limited version? thanks

[DetroitBORG]

@HobyoGirl It's a full web-browser, but many websites will identify the Kindle Fire as mobile and load the mobile version. You can usually get around this by selecting "Full Version" at the bottom of the website. The browser also supports flash, but performance is not great.

[HobyoGirl]

@DetroitBORG , thanks a lot for the useful and quick reply..

[venichen1]

Are you Finnish?

[DetroitBORG]

@venichen1 I'm not Finnish, born in the US to parents were were Polish/German.

[sonyvegasfxvideos]

"I think i have 4 now" <- WhisperSync was made just for you!

[TheFingerboarder101]

do you get these things for free or do you pay for every thing you get?

[DetroitBORG]

@TheFingerboarder101 There are free books through Amazon, but no free movies or music. Free music is available from apps like MOG or Pandora, free movies from apps like Hulu. You can also watch YouTube content.

[TheFingerboarder101]

@DetroitBORG i meant like the kindle its self

[kariat99]

i'm getting one tomorrow!!! so excited!!!!!



[0987654321milkshake]

I would say an iPad 2 is better you can watch YouTube, make videos, take pictures, FaceTime, safari and it has wi if And play games with a wide screen I'm using one right now!

[NizaMathers]

What is the light sensor for?

[DetroitBORG]

@NizaMathers To automatically control screen brightness for the ambient light conditions.

[ladygagarocks21]

That thing is laggy only everything

[Orgimalfold]

1:10

[th3codplay3r]

thank God we can watch videos on youtube

[Haley1299]

Can you download music to this using something like iTunes? Also, is there free music on there?

[DetroitBORG]

@Haley1299 You can't use iTunes to sync the music, but you could put the iTunes music on the device simply by dragging and dropping the tracks to the Music folder on the Kindle while it's attached to your computer. You can also buy music from Amazon directly on the Kindle.

[Haley1299]

@DetroitBORG Thanks so much! And one more question, is there free music?

[DetroitBORG]

@Haley1299 I don't believe there is free music on Amazon, but you can use apps like MOG or Pandora for free music.

[redumbrellaman]

is this a good sub for ipod touch?

[DetroitBORG]

@redumbrellaman Nothing is a great substitute to Apple and iOS 5.

[kazora1001]

@DetroitBORG wtf fanboy answer

[jamelvaughn2010]

@DetroitBORG try being un biased.... especially if your a reviewer

[sonyvegasfxvideos]

@DetroitBORG Oooohhhhhhhh..... Burn.

[Eaglesfan4758]

@redumbrellaman Yes it is even better

[vmariani212]

@redumbrellaman YES!

[nirvanafans1]

unboxing an kindlkle is like an unboxing of o potato

[Eaglesfan4758]

awesome



[keithgrantham91]

Can i use spotify to put music on it

[DetroitBORG]

@keithgrantham91 You can, but it's not officially supported at this time so there is no app in the marketplace. There are workarounds, search Google for those.

[teamedward087]

<3 hunger games <3

[31princessmariah]

i love how im watching this on my kindle fire :) i got it for christmas 2011.

[babylynna11]

[DetroitBORG]

@babylynna11 Thanks man!

[ganster2263]

can i put music on it off of my computer?

[D0UI3LEA]

@ganster2263 yes

[MrLouis1st]

i like the way you go to the apple.com on the android device =)) LOL

[xTechViewx]

why cant we have it here in uk

[DetroitBORG]

@xTechViewx It was rumored to be coming to the UK this month, so it should be there soon, if not this month. They have to secure content rights in the UK before they can launch.

[SJSports]

You turn it on by the bottom. Anyways, love the video.

[jerridan55]

Is there an app that lets you type documents like office word??

[Dannymdd1]

what account are the purchases charged to

[DetroitBORG]

@Dannymdd1 Your Amazon account.

[codyhitsthabong]

this device is great when you're using it to read a great book like Shadows of the Jungle

[moubak]

does this device support Arabic language?

[DetroitBORG]

@moubak Apparently not at this time. From the product description: Kindle displays Cyrillic (such as Russian), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), and Korean characters, in addition to Latin and Greek scripts.

[likeaboss889]

does it come with a styles

[adiegiese23]

The usb cord do you have to buy that or does it come with it? If you have to buy it do they have certin one's on amazon? thanks.

[DetroitBORG]

@adiegiese23 The USB cable is included. If you need to buy a replacement, any USB to Micro-USB cable will work, it's non-proprietary.

[tuvok449]

Great job on the review! I think it's berry thorough

[DetroitBORG]

@tuvok449 Thanks!

[LifeAsMichael]

Im buying this on my 18th birthday

[1181timothy]

This remind me of ubuntu

[mirandaravachol]

can i download  free books from project gutemberg with this device?

[DetroitBORG]

@mirandaravachol Apparently yes, Project Gutenberg offers Kindle formatted files. Hopefully, Kindle will support ePub soon.

[JetXiongProductions]

[coolboyganguk]

[gamerkillin511]

[Sk8GoofyAllDay]

Can you go onto youtube from the KINDLE fire?

[LiveLaughTheatre]

@Sk8GoofyAllDay Yes you can. You can go on any website on the Kindle Fires browser.

[rocknroll4ever123]

@GSanchez200 Absolutely. Much more then i had expected. Typing from it now actually. :)

[xostephaniehart]

can i buy music with amazon gift cards?

[DetroitBORG]

@xostephaniehart Yes!

[bell3341]

You kept saying, "it's not something an android would have." But this device runs android 2.3

[DetroitBORG]

@bell3341 I know this, but this is a highly re-skinned version of it that is not recognizable Android.

[DetroitBORG]

@bell3341 I know this, but this is a highly re-skinned version of it that is not recognizable Android.

[DetroitBORG]

@bell3341 I know this, but this is a highly re-skinned version of it that is not recognizable Android.

[angelijha]

I CAN NOT EVEN GET FREE GAMES DO NO Y

[101tgundersen]

[cire311]

[DaisyEnid7]

[Waveking95]

[MrLogozz]

That was the fastest unboxing i've ever seen...

[CookieRaider1990]

He would be a cool dad :)

[CookieRaider1990]

8 people asked there mommies for the kindle fire for christmas but they didnt get it :P

[Phineasflynrocks89]

iPad Vs. E-reader. What's the point of an iPad and an E-reader? Why are there videos and pages of iPad 2 vs Kindle Fire?! iPad can't battle an E-Reader.

[DarkAngell675]

Omfg Hunger Games!! Omfg Lost!! Omfg IAN SOMERHALDER!!!!!

[tamatamaboy]

[bamaboy1763]

I just got a Kindle Fire and I love it! its awesome! :-)

[TiliaNokiaN9]

no camera?

[AlexsTechReviewz]

Wish Amazon would add physical volume buttons.

[aretecool]

Amazon should let this product be for international costumers...

[iRiShXsHaDoWzZ]

@thebestpopmusic00 It is pretty good , but everyone knows that the iPad is much better

[theSilverBullet1100]

@iRiShXsHaDoWzZ for $300 more it better be!

[DaCheezerz]

I live. in. Fucking. Canada. I. Cant. Get. This. And. The. Nook. WTF

[rikau95]

[jd29858ableable]

[Shikamarukan]

Oh wow, I live in Rochester too.

[thebestpopmusic00]

I already own an iPod Touch 4g but kinda want a tablet. Is this good for YouTube videos, web searching, games, and music?

[sebster369]

nice, but should i get it if i want games, music, and a browser, p.s i dont have an ipad, so i want something cheaper thats still a good tablet, so i it worth it?

[khurramyouutube]

nice video



[GSanchez200]

Is this Kindle Fire worth it?

[Hello9460]

@GSanchez200 Thats what i want to know because im thinking about getting it. I honestly dont care for the camera or the physical buttons. So considering that do yall think it is worth it.

[Mr18Theta]

You can't play videos on the apple website because it requires quicktime, and quicktime isn't available on android. No android devices can watch the videos on apple.com or any videos that use quicktime.

[sk8rchicky41125]

Can i put music from my coumpter on my Kindle fire?

[7thPrestige]

You sir, have just been subscribed. Good review

[DrPakDan]

@DetroitBORG Is there any free music or movies? Also, is there Xfinity like on the iPad and iPad2?

[birdo32]

@DetroitBORG could you put music from your ipod onto the kindle.

[DetroitBORG]

@birdo32 Yep, just drag and drop the music files from your computer to the Music folder on the Kindle.

[birdo32]

@DetroitBORG Thanks and great review straight to the point

[BinaryWork]

Would you recommened the Kindle Fire over an iPod Touch?

[DetroitBORG]

@BinaryWork No, I would prefer the iPod Touch for the maturity of iOS and portability.

[SIJAR]

love your review, absolutely awesome, I think you just screw other reviews in their butt.

[DetroitBORG]

@SIJAR Thanks man ;) 

[heath618]

omg i love my kindle fire

[DetroitBORG]

@heath618 Awesome!

[aza091234]

The kindle fire is going to have a software update to improve on things like performance and responsiveness

[DetroitBORG]

@aza091234 Yes, hopefully most of the performance problems will be ironed out in software.

[aza091234]

I am so happy that theres a section in the amazon video store that has movies for 3 dollars thats so awesome on the nook tablet angry birds cost 3 dollars

[MrHockeyplayer200]

This video helped me soo much !!!!!

[DetroitBORG]

@MrHockeyplayer200 Glad to hear it!

[bootydiva19]

Hey, i'm thinking about buying the Kindle Fire, curious to know if you have music already on your computer can you transfer it using the usb to put it on the kindle or u have to buy it from the kindle?

[DetroitBORG]

@bootydiva19 Yes, that's exactly what I do, just drag and drop the music to the music folder.

[97sumitpaul]

@DetroitBORG u answered the dude question and mine, thanks :)

[mnasirkh08]

[jbabel1012]

I am either thinking of asking this for a gift for Christmas or buying one myself. It will defiantly be helpful instead of my whole room being stacked with books like normal. It's also nice with the apps and movies ect. Thanks for the help with the video, really explains the steps. (:

[AaronWinburn]

my teacher wrote the book "the hunger games"

[lpsoldiers232]

my dad wants to buy this tablet, is it worth it or is the iPad 2 better???

[datsoccerkid434]

@lpsoldiers232 definitely the ipad 2 is better... but to save LOADS of money. the kindle fire is amazing.. i myself don't have one and plan getting one on x-mas but my friend does and it works great!

[lpsoldiers232]

[numbchuck77]

@TheKaiileee This device has pleenttyyy of apps. do not worry about that. they have all the good ones, and it is preety much a little bit of a smaller version of the android app store

[letmeknow96]

Mylo Xyloto. I like that too.

[youngsid23]

[headwhop26]

When you said Coldplay was one of your favorites, I paused the video, left this comment, and left

[Vana1970]

I love my Kindle 3G & was very interested in this new offering however, it appears to have a lot of glare. Does this contain flash which iPad doesn't and the glass would concern me as far as scratches.

@Vana1970 It does support Flash. Glare is particularly b
