[L3gion3r]

The crowd is so excited. I see how the lady @ 2:27 almost could not handle to rip her clothes and start screaming form multiple orgasms seeing the product.

[coolbriguy]

No applause and they tried to copy the unveiling like how apple does, pitiful.

[MasMasit]

I feel as if I'm in a church.

[Greatbubba747]

There was no applause

[timdavidson2]

@kosumoto2008, I was speaking of his style. Nothing of the product. Apple makes the best personal products hands down. Not a cult, just giving the people what they want. Educate yourself before you make a comment.

[kasumoto2008]

@timdavidson2 It is a cult when you TELL people what to want and lead them to make purchases in blind faith. Apple's standings as making the best products were years ago. Now, nearly all of their stuff loses to competitors. Look up Galaxy S2 or Droid Bionic, Alienware, Galaxy Tab, etc. people buy their stuff just for the brand name, without consideration that there are better products. They are exploiting people's stupidity and faith in their name. Fortunately, it won't last much longer.

[daesix]

It's called a piece of shit. This guy should be fired.

[kasumoto2008]

@daesix you're a fucking idiot. He's the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Amazon, who the hell is gonna fire him. Plus, he went to Princeton. What piece of shit school did you graduate from?

[daesix]

@kasumoto2008 I went to Berkeley. What piece of shit did you graduate from? The board of directors can always appoint a new CEO. Now who's the fucking idiot?

[blattdanielmain]

@daesix dude, you just got owned by kasumoto hahahaha

[daesix]

@blattdanielmain Dude, get off of his dick you sycophant.

[blattdanielmain]

@daesix Get off your own dick...

[daesix]

@blattdanielmain Dude, I just owned you and Kasumoto.

[Zhythex]

buy a fucking galaxy tab instead of this piece of shit

[SoCalDude805]

@Zhythex

This is only $200. Galaxy is competing with $500 tabs.

[oaxaca911]

i feel like they played it safe by naming it kindle fire. its a dumb name, but they know black people use that word a lot, so amazon is probably hoping that can make it popular and help it sell.

thats part of the reason i wouldnt buy one.. all i can think of is going to mexico, and having people ask, "whats it called again?" and me repeating the same stupid name.

u guys also need to pay bezos some respect, he's a billionaire. And he pretty much created online shopping and e readers.

[jiaminglin6]

What a lame dude and lame audience

[mrsuperdudly1]

D:> AT 0:37 HE SAYS 17 MILLION SONGS AND AT 1:23 HE SAYS 18 MILLION SONGS!?!?!?!?!?!?

[757latinos]

Why didn't anybody clap

[kasumoto2008]

@757latinos 'cause Amazon isn't a cult like Apple

[dlang1122]

why are some people knocking this tablet so much? i personally think it a good tablet/e reader. im happy with my purchase of the kindle fire and the next generation should be even better. good job Amazon.

[zeekerisftw]

Need this for christmas

[maramsagi]

I meant apps

[maramsagi]

I got a kindle fire and it is the amazing thing ever!!!!! ITs so cheap and I love those free apss!! I recommended this to all my friends!

[Kingro619]

Not a great pitch. Needs to put emphasis on words, heighten his voice when asking questions, bring in charisma, get people excited for it!

[RJHgaming]

I would get this instead of the iPad because of the price. I would still prefer the iPad and i know that most of you that "don't want the iPad" really do want it but don't have the money for it.

[GSanchez200]

The product itself is small, but so does the price. Very interesting way to upgrade the Kindle lineup.

[jajuangarrett]

The best thing about this tablet is the price point. You get what you pay for!

[LeSympatique]

Amazon suck? xD 1:54

[XtremeGaming123]

most akward anouncment ever, no one claps for it??? lol

[CastleSnowflake]

silk the best ever i want it now now now

[Jrf2112ROBLOXStyle]

It sucks. It's not worth it, DO NOT BUY IT!

NOOK TABLET. COME ON!

[jtkrpm1]

It shows that this guy does not give a beep about this product

[soromon9]

This is cheaper than the psp vita omg

[memoivoila]

For the price it is awesome!

[Jrf2112ROBLOXStyle]

@memoivoila No, it still sucks for the price. Not worth it >.>

[Hanamichi101]

His no where near Steve Jobs,looks like no wants clapping or listening all on their laptops but nice tablet btw~

[SuperQuantumMechanic]

@Hanamichi101 Thank god he's not like Jobs. By most accounts Jobs was a raging douche bag.

[Hanamichi101]

@SuperQuantumMechanic LOL

[Epicinfo1]

This is nothing even close to comparable to an iPad or any other fully functional tablet. This is a great tablet at a great price if your interested in keeping your purchases strictly with Amazon.

[ornelasadrian]

Ipad killer

[ancdavis123]

The only thing that making the kindle fire a success is the price,if it was 500 dollars,people might as well buy in ipad 2, kindle fire is weak,it wont beat the ipad

[stevefordfreak]

already bought mine,waiting for its arrival---SUCK IT APPLE!!

[Jrf2112ROBLOXStyle]

@stevefordfreak It sucks.

You should have bought the Nook Tablet.

[damietedokubo]

lmao, cool product, terrible marketer. steve jobs wannabe

[etheain]

ipad > Fire



[sprite4u]

i am going to buy this but this guy is lame

[Nastica86]

Does he like this product it all???? He like "yikes, what's that attached to my hand?"

[ss11s]

man that is one long pausing dude- he is a major pauser

[MrPrice2U]

@ss11s Bet he had a stutter and nervous hair issues.

[blattdanielmain]

@ss11s He dominates the e-commerce market he can pause how he pleases. 

[ss11s]

so lets get this straight- this long ad has its own short ad

[rzezniqq]

But can you stream porn on it?

[Imforeverone88]

Well there's Bezos a la Steve Jobs for ya.

[syborius]

I'm not sold yet, email? any word processing? I like the form factor, if I can write a small email or edit a document on the go I'm sold.....but I sorta doubt it will have any business applicability at all..Just probably eye candy in the end. Well, at least the other tablets will come down in price now.

[dgcostarica1]

@syborius -- I dont think they'll drop, not really, the great thing about the kindle fire is the fact that it's so cheap because it can afford to be.. amazon sells not only a great quality tab, but it sells content, silk cloud, direct link to amazon and kindle content... amazon can afford the low price..

[nasagreir]

You buy the ipad just so you know its good

[DazReht]

I have been watching demos on the kindle fire and after hearing the price I am definitely sold. All I would use it for would be the internet and movies. So it's pointless for me to drop 500 bucks on an iPad. Why...because it has a camera? Everything else I have has a camera, even my friggin car haha. Yeah I'm good thx. Kindle fire it is...

[DFD737]

SPREAD THE WORD, Regardless of what Amazon says, the FIRE WILL NOT WORK OUTSIDE THE USA for any free or paid video content with your Amazon Prime account !

[willavr]

Definitely not Steve Jobs...



[bieberordie1231]

dude got a lazy eye;)

[bpvse06]

ok! can i surf the web, look up banking balances, ck my emails with kindle or not? thats all i realy need it for..ohh & to buy stuff on ebay lol

[H1N1Conspiracynews]

@bpvse06 Yes you can. The Kindle Fire will do all of that.

[TheyAreAmungUs]

Yeah, the kindle looks awesome and yeah I want one - but the device only has like 8GB storage - and they say its uses cloud storage but Amazon only gives 5GB away for free and yes this would be enough for many users their cloud costs an unbelievable amount of money and they probably wont allow you to use other cloud servers on the Fire look at the prices (scroll to the bottom) amazon com/clouddrive/learnmore

[ryanlitton86]

@TheyAreAmungUs 5 gb is free for the cloud drive, anything you upload to the cloud. anything you purchase from amazon is kept in the cloud. the more you purchase, the more space your stuff will use on their cloud.

[albyxit]

He's great! Good job Amazon!

[RitaArens]

I'm giving away a Kindle Fire this week (11/1/2011-11/7/2011) on my blog, Surrender, Dorothy.

[cdnerds]

This is going to own the Ipad in market share. Its not better but but from the movie Pirates of Silicon Vally "that doesn't matter".

[Weedpuppet]

Damn, he cant stand still

[MsSnowman24]

I'm so gonna get one of these !!(:

[dapman26]

I have just pre ordered mine, I love books but their making my room look a little untidy!

[MrHeyman568]

Trying to hard....

[ludimoru]

He's sexier than Steve Jobs.

[elvaandjeff]

zzzzzz

[timdavidson2]

He is definitely no Steve Jobs. Needs to quit pacing. That is annoying as hell.

[kasumoto2008]

@timdavidson2 of course he's not Steve Jobs. He's better than Steve Jobs. He'd actually make a good device and doesn't make a cult following that mass exploit consumers.

[blattdanielmain]

@timdavidson2 He may not be steve jobs but he is far richer and way smarter.

[JustifyJustin]

As I understand the old Kindle had a passive display which was really easy on your eyes - this looks like a typical modern display. Will it offer the same benefits as the previous screen?

[ryanlitton86]

@JustifyJustin it's a backlit led screen, like any tablet, smartphone, or laptop. it does not have the benefit of being easy on your eyes like e-ink.

[quest8899]

apple should make a 7 inch tablet

[jonesey903]

gonna sell my touchpad for 100 and get one of these

[Shahabk818]

are those billions of music and movies and books for free after i get the device?

[aphounsavat]

HELP!! What's better kindle fire, or Nook color?1?

[awkwardandannoying]

@aphounsavat

kindle fire, it is expected to have a much larger appstore than the apple appstore when it gets going, and it is faster because of amazon silk, everything is supposed to continuously expand and have more features, while it is cheaper and will be much more heard of than nook color

[awkwardandannoying]

@aphounsavat

and it has the cloud

[Podings]

I'd rather buy this than iPad. Sorry Jobs.

[FrostbitexP]

@Podings

they may be planning to by an ipad mini since alot of people are interested in mini tablets, so you might wanna hold onto your money...

[latintiger]

@Podings agreed i want it because its way cheaper then the ipad

[talpataupe]

People need to stop comparing him to Jobs.

[SwanSongRecords]

@talpataupe He needs to stop acting like steve jobs then!

[AdamNguyen159]

well , look like this is my first tablet

[miovader]

Are the tv shows going to be free?

[scampbl]

@miovader With a subscription to Amazon Prime, which is 79 dollars a year (which is about 6.59 a month.) You also get free two day shipping on most items and 3.99 one day shipping. It's actually a good deal, I use it a lot for textbooks.

[imchino]

Can you really complain about this product? Its $199 people! I love Apple and am a complete Apple enthusiast but if this tablet allows me more control of what content I can upload then I'm buying one. Im sick of having to convert my video files to H.264 format.

[sudharshinijohn]

Good Product, Bad Introduction, If anyone listen one more Minute he or she will fall asleep.

[TheSkyfulB]

Was everyone's dead?!? not even a gasp!?

[DASpArTaN]

Dude!! Its Gandalf!

[timerickson2482]

Join a kindle fire community. KFHUB.com

[Desmonddd2002]

How big is the cloud?

[daMOUTHful]

a Steve jobs wannabe!

[Banininator]

@daMOUTHful Aff... Palm Face.

[SuperBlackcat28]

My thoughts on this tablet is. That it has the 6 elements that people use their tablets for the most. And it's not trying to be something that it's not 250,000 pre sales later yes I guess he is a moron and your all sitting on your ass doing what again?

[SuperBlackcat28]

I don't think he is trying to be like jobs people keep saying that because he is doing a keynote. I read some where that reason he does not smile or be funny is that his laugh is weird a loud which he said about himself.

[ibyOFshieldz]

If only he smiled like Steve Jobs, and i wish this freaking tablet was released in the UK!

[carbineautomatic]

What a smug, clueless moron. Holding up a glorified electronic organizer like it's Moses freaking tablet. Sooner or later people are going to realize what a massive fraud all of this gadget crap is, fake conversations, fake interactions, fake experiences, computer interference. Children's books forced into ugly formats to conform to the robot presentation.

[TheSkyfulB]

@carbineautomatic Are you talking about the iPad or this thing? :D:D

[slavik292]

Ye.. I agree. He is so far to Jobs...I'm really dont like people copy Jobs,his manner. Cause He was the only one.

[chiquinarco55]

that presenter is creepy...

[Cadbil]

He is horrible is presenting.lol

[IceFreshProductions]

LMAO - Why does every company follow Apple, Its better to be a leader than a follower.... 

[rhcp500]

@IceFreshProductions Apple did not invent the touch screen tablet

[IceFreshProductions]

@rhcp500 I mean in reference to the way he is presenting lol...

[rhcp500]

@IceFreshProductions possibly because the mainstream is so dense that they think Apple brands are the actual products. IE any mp3 player is an iPod and any touch screen smart phone is an iPhone. One of Apple's skills is the ability to translate ideas into an easy to digest package that Joe User can understand. It gets to the point that if it *doesn't* look like Apple's version it won't even get recognized as the product it is.

[garlandkr]

was expecting some applause on the pricing, guess not.

[EB1089]

@garlandkr

Same here. This is the first time I've seen an Amazon press conference and it looks more "rigid" compared to Apple's keynotes where all the nerds in the audience laugh, clap, etc. lol Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to the Fire.

[rhcp500]

@EB1089 It's kinda creepy, right? No emotions. No reactions. Just people plugged into the Matr- I mean their computers

[EB1089]

@rhcp500 Hehe, right on.

[moneymakerjt83]

Yeah that's nice I want one never did I though I would want a kindle

[rageatm4life]

'Its called Kindle Fire' ...Waits for applause...awkward moment.....hahahaha. Still want one though looks good.

[kkwik16]

So tired of Apple it is great to see other companies doing good for a change!

[IceFreshProductions]

@kkwik16 Have you heard of a company called Creative? they do a 7" and 10"

[briansprdr]

he doesnt have the same stage presence as steve jobs ...but hes holding a device that will do extremely well ..i just might buy it.

[briansprdr]

he doesnt have the same stage presence as steve jobs ...but hes holding a device that will do extremely well ..i just might buy it.

[taylor29919]

this is ment to be the thing that apple sed about making it selles drop for 3ds ..... HA!

[jdbucha]

Disappointed with the Nook Color - slow, slow, slow. I'll unload it on ebay. Just pre-ordered the Fire.

[naruto9321]

But will it blend??!

[kukal74]

The worst presentation I've ever seen....

[steevyp]

@kukal74 If Steve Jobs was alive and HE presented it, Amazon would have sold out before the presentation ended. lol

[ThePcorpuz]

I'ma get that for my birthday

[SilverEagle857]

Can you put videos and songs in this device like ipad 2?

[PREY4WAR]

@SilverEagle857 Yes. The Kindle Fire with come preloaded with apps that take advantage of Amazon's movie and music services.

[booman0628]

Camera?

[PREY4WAR]

@booman0628 Nope



[MrSuperkiki]

@booman0628 Who uses camera on tablets? I have my nexus s for that...wow people

[hbnju7yg]

This presentation reminds me of the lyrics of "Complicated"

>acting like someone else gets me frustrated

[Zuxicovp1]

Looks cool. But the keynote sucked

[EMFpebbles]

Getting mine in November!! I  am soooooooo EXCITED!!

[RyTyGaming]

199$? AN to compare with an iPad? Not a bad Price at all :)

[trdracer21]

$199 not bad

[lmacorp]

The Apple cultists wouldn't like it if it poops gold bars

[SuperBlackcat28]

@all. I really don't think this.guy was going to be Steve jobs and to be honest Steve Jobs is not that exciting, its the products. Maybe someone needs to put this in capitals this not competing with the ipad. It is a media device you consume email a bit and search the web people are really missing the point. The that of the matter this is genius marketing give them a month worth of amazon prime free and without a doubt they will sign up for a year Amazon have made back the loss on the fire price

[FleshMob]

HTC Flyer went from 500% to 300$ because of this! :)

[HiggyLocke]

I can't get over that awkward pause after he announces the name. Usually, when apple announces their new product, there's a collective roar in shock and awe....he waited for it, it never happened.

[don66688]

A Gameboy

[brberis]

The dark side of the force! Tan tan tan ta ta Tan ta ta tamm

[Darkmaxmuk]

does it have a web browser

[threelittleniglets]

d@Darkmaxmuk yes u can browse the web! i love amazon and will finally buy a tablet!

[Darkmaxmuk]

@threelittleniglets then i think i finally found the perfect tablet for me !

[pm2squared]

Boring presenter. No stage presence. He doesn't look convince he's got a good device. So he can't convince me. Not even for $199!

It's kinda sad watching presentations that aren't from Apple, just - so - boring!
