CNET Buzz Report: Will Kindle Fire burn up the iPad?

[dickcherry69]

Way off on the iPhone speculation

[ahmedamer1989]

i love molly wood



[aero2700]

I bet moly looked real good when she was in her early 20s

I'm normally *very* happy with Amazon products and customer support.

Kindle Fire doesn't support proxy servers making it a brick at work. Proxy servers are a common security approach at corporations, colleges, and schools. It cannot be ignored. Amazon's stance that the Fire is an "entertainment" device that has no need for proxy support. This stance ignores several obvious user scenarios:the Silk browser *frequently* fails to load websites like IGN. In all, I returned the Fire after a week.

title question, answer: NO

Its good to know that, unlike Apple, Amazon actually cares about the fact that not everyone can afford a $500 dollar tablet. Also unlike Apple, they offer as much as they can for as little. I'll definately be buying this over the iPad 2. :D

[willhunting1995]

@tillerman002 Trust me, you get what you pay for, the Kindle Fire gets VERY hot after only using it for about 20 minutes, the power button is on the bottom which makes it easy to accidentally turn off, the web browser is spotty at best and worst offense, NO PASSWORD PROTECTION, which makes it easy for thieves to hack into your account if it's ever lost, Plus, no camera or microphone. It's definitely NOT an Ipad killer at all, it's just a spruced up Kindle, nothing more. I plan to return mine!

[tillerman002]

@willhunting1995 Be that as it may, its better than a lot of 3 and even 4 hundred dollar tablets. and plus...if you sat there and used an iPad, it'd get hot pretty fast, too. Just saying.

[willhunting1995]

@tillerman002 Actually, the Ipad 2 does NOT get hot after long usage, the motherboard has a much better cooling system than Amazon's Kindle Fire!

[tillerman002]

@willhunting1995 Really? Ugh. I wish I could afford that. but still. Kindle Fire seems pretty cool.

[willhunting1995]

@tillerman002 Try one at Best Buy before buying it. I had a Kindle Fire and I returned it after a few days, because the browser is spotty at best, working sometimes and often not.

[tillerman002]

@willhunting1995 I have a pretty good Wi-Fi signal throughout my entire house. (Usually four bars on the computer, unless I'm in my room, then I have three) would the internet be...okay at least...there? sorry about spamming this up. :P

[willhunting1995]

@tillerman002 I have an excellent WiFi connection in my house. In fact, it's cable internet. My Ipad2 runs at lightening speed, with movies streaming quite quickly, I had a LOT of problems running the net with my former Kindle Fire. If you don't believe me, look at the video in my profile where CNET compares the speed of the two tablets. The Ipad2 runs faster because it's processor is ten times faster than the Fire's is! And it's cooling system is second to none!

[tillerman002]

@willhunting1995 thanks! I'll got check it out. A lot of review have said that the Kindle Fire streams Netflix quicker though. Also, on the Amazon store, books are cheaper. Ugh, I'm torn between the two!!!

[willhunting1995]

@tillerman002 Those reviews are absolutely incorrect, the Kindle Fire is VERY slow at streaming movies. If you want a better tablet, try the Nook Color which is a far better alternative to the Kindle Fire

[tillerman002]

@willhunting1995 ever review I've seen, the Kindle has beaten the iPad in streaming movies via Netflix. and yes, the books on the Amazon store are rarely over $10. while on iTunes, you can rarely find them for under 10.

[willhunting1995]

@tillerman002 That's funny because I had one and the streaming video on the Kindle Fire looks really pixelated and it's far slower than on the Ipad2 which has a processor which runs twice as fast. As for books, the Kindle Fire is primarily an E-reader that has Wifi capabilities, if you only want to read books, then the Kindle should be your choice, however, it is NOT a tablet computer at all, and has only a fraction of the capabilities and power of the Ipad!

[willhunting1995]

@tillerman002 Check out CNET's comparison of the two machines on my channel to see the true speed of the two products for yourself, the Kindle Fire is hands down a lot slooooowwwwweeeerrrr than the Ipad, that's for sure!

[jovannylua]

fuk you @injury your one of those gay faggetts that cant handle money i wont be suprised if your a fucing homless person living in a trash can beggin fo money (some change brotha please some change) FAG

[Resdue007]

This is my first time seeing CNET Buzz, so forgive the following newbie comment:

Molly Wood IS awwwwsooome!

[jonesey903]

[Israelrocks100]

[rocknrollpriest]

@CNETTV Does the kindle have text to speech, or can it read to you?

[jonathnc]

@rocknrollpriest Some books that you purchase might be read to you. Also known as "AudioBooks".

[dominicanodeDios]

you get what you pay for. an ipad costs so much because you have an amazing OS 3 versions (16gb,32,64), and cameras. while kindle no cameras only an 8gb 7inch and an os slitely more limeted than ios.

[thegroove2000]

mmmmm the Amazon fire deserves to sell well, and it shows what the Android OS is capable of, when done properly.

[readyforuable]

ohhh...i m sold

molly u r soo nice

[jaelavee]

Thanks Molly Wood

[badmanio]

molly wood gives me wood lol

[mayorquain]

Only the high n might amazon can defeat the apple company they have cloud for free and apple baerly did that a couple mothes ago plus you can watch movies and tv shows for free when subsribed to amazon prime

[Kosic]

I saw this on the news the other day, i only heard the end of it "will the kindle fire beat the ipad 2?" short answer no.

The ipad2 is a very powerful device, and honestly it's worth every penny they charge for it. Machines that charge less are nice for people who can't break the bank too much, but they never end up being anything alike to their expensive counter parts.

if this machine does well, i will pick it up as a gift for my parents, because it's a cheap, viable tablet.

[jxmod]

apple is nice but i like to have alota options in my os so i chose us transformer with android honeycomb ipad is nice tho

[LeadFarmer1597]

This annoys me. Can we just have unadulterated tech news without all of the cornyness?

[EmperorEva0001]

ugh, fuck facebook

[datsoccerkid434]

This is dumb. The ipad and kindle fire r 2 very different things. An ipad is pretty much for anything while the kindle fire is an ebook reader with extra features than normal ... but dats just my opinion

[moshe017]

@datsoccerkid434 just eat your ... for that extra 300 ....

[Sportschrome]

gorilla glass on the iphone isnt really gorilla like (not that strong)

[guitarmkb]

she hav 32 siz boobs ....m i rit or am i wright

[pkerry12]

This would be prefect if it ran windows 8 or Apples iOS 5.0

[mrimproviser]

YAAH!

[injury]

every time a new product drops, all the apple fanboys come out crawling from their mothers basements to tell you how much better apple is....anyone else tired of them??

[zomgspiderman]

@injury If Apple listened to idiots like these there would be no high standard and no innovation. I don't even own anything Apple right now, but I know the iPad 2 is better because you can see it in the tech specs and customer reviews. It costs more because it has more and does more. Maybe if you morons would stop jumping on the "Wow a cheaper product that does SOME of the things iPad does....Watch out, Apple LOL." Maybe people would stop pointing out how fucking stupid you are.

[DeTantalus]

@zomgspiderman When the Ipad first came out everyone thought it was so revolutionary, when really it was a glorified Ipod. One of my siblings won one, and seriously, almost every app she used was for the IPOD not the IPAD. Ipad 2 may include some pretty cool things, but it really isnt worth the ridiculous pricetag and the retarded store. I have yet to see the Ipad do something that my $250 netbook couldn't. blow $600 on one if you want, ill be getting the Kindle Fire and sticking with my netbook

[54321thedeathbed]

@injury well, i honestly think that i would want the ipad more then this

[lochidoconjc]

@goldeneye0010 nop just a horny guy :P

[BellaCinco]

I use to own a ipad but sold it. I miss it, and I was thinking about buying the new one. But this kindle for 200 dollars looks better suited to my liking. I think the ipad was just to much.

[isaachaze1]

the rocketboom molly is hotter, but i dont mean that to be insulting to this molly. the rocketboom molly is pretty much hotter than anyone

[johnchen0213]

nothing will beat ipad sadly... apps are where its at! (except price)

[Thrillcekr]

Ecosystem? Buy an app for kindle Fire you get it for the Fire only. Buy one for your iPad and you get it for your phone, iPod, and Mac as well. No comparison.

[Thrillcekr]

Kindle Fire? You get what you pay for. Less screen. Small 8 gig drive. An outdated version of a phone os instead of a tablet os. Limited amount of apps from Amazon app store only. No 3G. No cameras. IPad killer? HELL NO!!!

[JCZ101]

Every time a new tablet comes out, it's going to be the iPad killer. I tried the Xoom and it's horrible. The lagging is ridiculous. You can never go from iPad to anything else.

[Bsaefong]

Facebook Ticker = Stalker Stream

[IJustMadeAComment]

@Bsaefong

I just don't know who in their right mind puts that up. I mean, it's cool to be social, but what utility are you or your friends getting from it? I might do it if FB gave me some marketing $ kickback.

[HereORNowTODAY]

Kindle Fire will not kill the iPad, but I think it will be the best competitor

[danielholgaard]

Oh, shut up, please! How can you compare this to the iPad, and even say that it can beat it? Give me a freaking break.

[TheTonyk123]

2:36 that is messed up the picture

[BrahChill]

I'll timeline you Molly.

[TapTapTech]

Because as we know people in the developing world just need them some Angry Birds and iTunes. Clean water is over rated anyway.

[smartalmos95]

i Love Apple <3

[ggrum]

No worries about Facebook privacy. Do what I do, have a Facebook account with a fake name and info. They can track you all they want but it's not you lol

[ggiul1256]

[GuyFawke5]

Please molly get a life your not funny.

[MrQ8center]

still it cant make a phone call ..

Samsung 7.7 > Amazon fire

[tantrick]

Love you presentation

[ktchong]

Also, you will not buy movies and music twice, once from Apple for iPad and once from Amazon for Kindle. And when you already a media collection on iPad or Kindle, you will not bother with the other.

[ktchong]

Of course Kindle Fire will affect iPad.

Unless you are the Batman and carry a whole array of gadgets with you, you will carry only one tablet when you are on the move -- and you will have to make a choice: either an iPad or Kindle. You will not carry both. Even if you have both, you will soon decide that you really carry/use only one, and soon enough you will give up the other. That is how Kindle will undercut iPad.

[pbzdura]

Very interesting device. What a pitty that video streaming will not be supported in Poland for now. By the way, nice show, short and fun:) Keep it like that!

[ku42]

i'd suck her TITS. MILF MUCH

[XoXKyleXXX]

even 4 me 200$ its still a lot got a fake one from ebay 100$ brand new and free shipping thats a deal and its 10" and all the goodies u would expect from a tablet yeah its cheap not the same performance but dude 100$? 10"? 1.2ghz? 512 ram and blah blah and cameras and all that crap. has flash wat more u need has multy touch wat more uneed oh i no wat u want apple logo

[stealthmintblue]

I like Molly. She is funny!

[dannyto12]

it feels like i waited sooo long for the buzz report each week

[djEvilDude]

@lochidoconjc no, in fact congrats you just hit puberty!!!

Welcome to manhood!

[goldeneye0010]

@lochidoconjc if you're gay/female then yes it is wrong.

[coldforgedcowboy]

I think CNET needs to sit down and figure out what consumers need each of the three devices people are carrying, the MP3 player, the Smart Phone, and the Tablet/Ebook to do. Personally I think the Mp3 player is going to be a stand alone device because I don't want it draining the batteries of smart phone. Plus I don't want to carry a big heavy device around when cycling or running and I want to listen to tunes. So that begs the question, what should a tablet do and what should a smart phone do?

[thetylife]

Simmer down pervs........ before they replace her with Wilson Tang too. Whahaha

[lotsblocks]

spotify users can quit bitchen, they all have a facebook anyway

[javs6901]

Molly u are hoooooooooooootttttttttttttttt­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pinwormx]

Form fitting outfit for MoWo

[sch001b0y]

Someone needs to sue the shit out of FB.

[AppleGnome]

Judging by some comments I can tell there is a lot of girl-less horny dudes on YT.

[AppleGnome]

WOoow I am gonna sell my ipad 2 and get 3 "Fires"...NOT

[nicodalimonte]

amazon need to make phone too, aPhone, and sell em for $200 unlocked

[jurassic2378]

Molly looking fine, wow keep it up and her personality is so much better than Natalie

[rb7magnetico]

shes a butterface and looks like a 2nd tier pornstar used for gonzo footage.

[wassupmybro]

nice titz

[simonchung555]

@wassupmybro perv..

[Marcham89]

@wassupmybro Don't talk that way to Molly! >:O

[BlackBerryMafia]

Her boobs are looking hot!!

[BrianTofanosiPhone]

She's a whore and she knows it. -3

[jaowseph]

I smell a padded bra...

[merts487]

Ms. Wood, your dress looks very nice on you. I like. You looked beautiful in that dress.

[radtwelve]

I DO HATE THE TICKER TOO!

[boriquapower]

"Look out Apple"...heard this way too many times. Notice how everything is measured by Apple products. This is telling. Earth to Molly, Apple doesn't make dramatic price due to what the competition does or doesn't do. They have proven this time and time again. Class dismissed.

[nsaenz805]

Molly stacked :)

[alanbobbichan]

want to bang her

[bugzilla2001]

Why have there been no videos of the actual performance of the Kindle Fire? I want to see if it skips a lot of frames while playing back video or playing games.

[memorod2134]

a clue "lets talk iPhone"

[mariokid2115]

@marksapollo The fanboys are why it won't outsell the iPad. It will come pretty close though.

[IllegalShadow760]

Thumbs up if u saw Never gonna give u up by Rick Roll

[sambackyard]

Welcome back sweet Molly I ...we missed you so much :*

[johnbgroovy]

I love holly wood

She's got a cute perkiness to her and her sense of humor is funny enough to laugh at.

[AlmightyUniden]

@jvrdlc bad taste is bad

[aalexis3]

Oh Molly!

You always have a way of putting a smile on my face.

I love watching your videos.

Please do more.

Thanks!

[s3snok]

hopefully.

[davidricaurte]

mmmm Molly looks prettier these days.......

[Drrck11]

The Kindle Fire won't exactly kill the ipad, but it will give it serious competition.

[LogInfinity]

"do that thing with the cookies too I dont care" :DD

"do that thing with the cookies too I dont care" :DD

[RustyRazor2010]

Don Draper made Molly into a Facebook slut...me so sad.

[XxKOLOHExX]

LMFAO, 2 iPhones?!?!?! LOL they couldn't even produce one phone in two colors... LMFAO!

[zEricFaux]

@XxKOLOHExX Like it or Leave it

[fastnfuriousinnit]

:-)

[Mrcrazycoasterfan]

The kindle fire dosent need cameras or a microphone or GPS because its meant for reading only with some games and videos, In the e-reader market yes the kindle fire will beat any other e-reading device.

[marksapollo]

Wow, so many Apple fans on here! The Kindle Fire WILL take sales from the iPad, it's a winner, great little device. And then the Windows 8 tablets shall attack from the opposite end of the price brackets. When they are out.

Apple is going to have to do something VERY special...

[appleormac]

WTF!! So this kindle fire cost less than an iPod touch!!! Apple better do some amazing stuff next week, I am hoping for an LTE iPhone !!!

[LyokoTravels]

I'm waiting for a iPhone 50 ... XD

[V3RM1LI0N]

EN FUEGO AHH ME QUEMO!!

[bobbyt213]

Thanks Molly, you rock!

[GuyFromNebraska]

so.. amazon ripped off B&N?

[MercherTV]

no tablet will ever beat the iPad

[hamhawkification]

@MercherTV exactly

[PhillyComputerSpot]

Not to be unprofessional but something about this chick is hot.

[aRandySavage]

@PhillyComputerSpot cuz her name has wood in it

[lordzid667]

@PhillyComputerSpot I SWEAR IW AS GOING TO WRITE THE SAME THING

[coldforgedcowboy]

@PhillyComputerSpot .... Molly Wood is attractive because she is very very "elegant".

The Oxford dictionary defines "Elegance" as someone who is graceful and stylish in appearance or manner.

[ajsrinath]

@PhillyComputerSpot yes, my imaginations running wild.

[BrahChill]

@PhillyComputerSpot totally thinking the same thing bro ahaha

[msakclioworld]

Kindle fire lasts about 6.5 hrs and the internal memory is too small (8 GB) which are not enough to store 2 HD movies and some music comparing to the iPad but anyway it's very good for it's price !

[SeadGBosnia]

$200 bucks for the Fire??? I'll rather get that than the itouch 4

[F3liX75]

@SeadGBosnia I need your opinion: Would you still get the Kindle Fire if it doesn't even have speakers, a mic, and cameras? Also, does it bother you if it has a slower processor and a small internal memory?

[SeadGBosnia]

@F3liX75 It doesn't have those features?.... Hell No lol I thought It came with all of those features if not then nahh i'll rather spend a bit more

[pivoteer971]

Opinion: Kindle Fire will never "Kill" the iPad 2, even though it has a more accessible price, but it will definitely beat other Android tablet manufacturers

[ktchong]

@pivoteer971 Kindle Fire won't kill iPad - just has Windows have not killed Mac.

BUT, Kindle Fire will negatively impact iPad: because Amazon has its own ecosystem that is not compatible with Apple's. People are not going to pay for the same music, movies, music, games and contents *twice*.  Which means, if I pay for and build a collection/library on Amazon, I am not going to spend the money all over again to buy the same contents on Apple - and that means I will not need nor want an iPad.

[animeguyXL2]

Molly = MILF

[PTNLemay]

@tsp1998

If anyone sues them it'll be Blackberry, that thing is the Playbook's good twin.
