This was a horrible review. First of all if it was supposed to be a tablet they would've called it a kindle tablet but its not, its called a kindle fire for a reason. It's for reading and free lance extras when wanted. This is more amazing than many tablets mentioned and the review was worse than the facts. You people need to learn a thing or two and then delete your YouTube account. You wasted my time!
I HAVE G MAIL AND AOL MAIL ON MY KINDLE I DONT KNOW WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AND THE FAMOUS APPS IS TO PLAY WICH IS COMPLETELY OUT OF QUESTION WE ARE NOT KID WE WANT TO READ AND TO GET INSTRUCTED MOST OF THE APPS PEOPLE UNINSTALL LATER ON IS ALL OVER THE NEWS FOR 200 DOLLARS THIS TABLET IS GREAT NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ON OFF BUTTON YOU BUY A CASE FOR THE TABLET AND PROBLEM IS RESOLVED OR YOU CAN TURN IT UP SIDE DOWN
This review is absurd. Even if I agreed with the assessment I would not agree with their delivery. They openly disregard what the Fire is marketed to do and they more or less laugh in the face of anyone considering buying the Fire. Worthless worthless review and it might be the most obnoxious production. It reminded of Shitty infomercials, which are also unhelpful and annoying. Please don't review things that you refuse to even acknowledge for what they are.
I thought this was perfect. Those are nitpicks, some people don't mind. It's a reader, you can browse the internet,watch vids,play games for god sakes i got dead space for it! ITS A READER
I don't think amazon has ever used the word "tablet." It's meant to be a media consumption device - an easier way to view amazon content. And on that score it performs quite well. Plus it's $200 which is good for the people who can't afford the pricier "tablets."
1. I had a samsung fascinate, it never received a single os update. Kindle Fire will likely receive regular updates from Amazon. Samsung wants to sell you another tablet next year, Amazon is trying to sell you on their services (movies, music, shopping).
2. Price. For that $100-150 price difference you can buy or re-buy a lot of apps.
3. Volume, the Fire will likely be the number #1 sold android-based tablet within 12 months.
this is suppose to be a kindle not a tablet. a tablet has 3g camera and those other stuff. this is a kindle, its suppose to focus on the READING and BOOKS!!! this is kindle that you focus on the reading and every now and then you want to listen to music or watch a movie or whatever!!! SO SHUT UP AND LEARN YOUR STUFF!!! thats why they're named with different words!!! a kindle and tablet!!! DIFFERENT!!
I sent my Kindle Fire back to Amazon. it's heavy and the battery sucks. I'm getting the Kindle 3G it's better then the Kindle Fire.Amazon should have market the Kindle Fire as a DVD Game Device
You say that the Galaxy Tab is better than the Fire. . .why are you comparing apples and peanuts. . .?
The Fire NEVER claimed to be a Galaxy Tab. .. . . it is a reader with wifi capabilities. . ..
Why don't you compare the Galaxy to the iPad?. .. because if you did, the Galaxy is a joke. . . it is the YUGO of tablets. . . .
This is an inane review that is intellectually dishonest .. . next thing you will tell us is that you get wet riding a Harley Davidson and deride them for not being dry
its so annoying how people expect the Kindle Fire to be as good or better than a tablet. even though people consider this a tablet, its not. its a device for reading books, watching videos, and listening to music nd it has wifi but u cnt expect it to be as good as a tablet. also dnt complaine abt the power button being at the bottom tht is why u turn it to a different side so it doesnt turn off. u gotta realiz its only 200 dollors. in the vid they made it look like crap but its not!!
Wow, okay. What exactly did you expect from the cheapest tablet out there? It's not meant to be a super high-tech tablet, it's for more casual users who don't really give a shit that you have more expensive things. If it works, then it should be good.
For real people grow up. This is a 200 dollar tablet. i mean for real. Why would somebody accually need a camera on a tablet. they can take pics on their cell phone. beggers cant be choosers. so get over it. if you dont want it give it to me so i dont have to buy mine thursday. 200 dollars is a great price for a tablet. ohhh no google im soory that ur a dork and need google there is bing and yahoo.
Send them into saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace
Sounds like a majority of issues these guys had are all things that can be worked on through software updates later down the road... My g/f loves her's!
@DarthMonick i agree! it is alot better thn they made it out to be! im not saying its not a good device, because it is a very good one, but how do they expect it to be as good as an ipad or other tablets. they made it sound so cheap nd worthless but its not!
Gps, camera, volume buttons and etc. I don't really need any of those since I already have an iPhone 4. I think the kindle fire is a good tablet for $199 if your using it mainly for reading and a few of its other features. Overall, its a nice product for its price.
Needless to say, at the end of the day it's a matter of what you want out of a device and I think many just fell under amazon's spell with the $199 price tag and didn't stop and ask themselves what they wanted to get out of a tablet. Although, I found it kind of overly bashful for them to just write-off the Fire, I do think they made some good points overall but whinned way to much about how it stack up to something that is kind of an unfair comparison device. BLAHH.. I wrote way too much..lol
The $399 galaxy tab I am refering to is the newest refreshes of the 7".. but that doesn't matter. The fact is it's still for many $150-200 too much to justify on a 7" device. The Lenovo A1 just release and can be had from 229-250 if people want a more open android experience. What is interesting though is the new Cynogenmod7 which is currently being worked on for the kindle fire and is up and running in the test phases. If that was to get working 100% and involve an easy process..Hello Fire!
at 1:25.. No shit sherlock!!!! Baduh.. it's not as good as my $399 Galaxy Tab... OMG, it's more of a reader.. Do these people not know anything about the Kindle brand or Amazon OR the fact that it's a $199 product with readers in mind. Now, I don't have one of these but I know/knew about the features before watching this and was patient enough to read what it had to offer and not just click "buy now" 5 times before doing my research. I can understand how many would be a lil let down but COMMON!
I just "unsubscribed" just for the one lame review.... " A GPS, camera, and not able to turn the volume down when a call comes in?" This is an all-in-one Amazon consumption unit and it's not meant to be all those other things. Of course this unit doesn't make calls, but turning down the volume just takes a swipe and 2 seconds off your life. Not a big deal. I have an Ipad 2 and I bought the Fire for the e-reader. I wanted something more portable and less hassle from time to time. I love it!
@chazzyMooMoo When you come from a device such as the galaxy tab it is hard to call the Fire a real competitor. Its great but, why not pay a little more for a full fledged tab?
@cmtyeson Yes :) A bit one sided it would seem, not a single positive word to say about the device what so ever. They should not call it a review if they just list up everything they dislike about the device
I really like the fire as a media consumption device. Does music, videos, books, and the internet. The fact it had amazon apps that I've been getting free on my phone for a long time is good enough for me, especially at two hundred dollars.
it's supposed to be a book replacement not a tab replacement, having said that, I would rather the sony readers, they have the best screens for reading
The Fire is made to be an Amazon consumption device - it is not meant (or doesn't seem to have been meant) to be a tablet - you want a tablet get the G Tab, or iPad - you want a reader that you can also watch movies on - get the Fire.
for $200,It's pretty awesome!eventually Amazon will come out with a real tablet,but for now,the fire is it. I'll bet it's the hit of the Christmas season.
Ya... Everything you guys said no offense is not true no offense.. From day 1 all those things you said I got the apks for no problem. Has gmail on it with contacts as well. And I can even change the laucher if I wanted. Keep in mind this is all without rooting the kindle.
People who are experienced tablet users will probably HATE Kindle Fire. People who are brand new to tablets, and therefore have no existing expectations or basis for comparison, may find it acceptable as their "first" tablet.
Someone who wants a tablet mainly to read ebooks should get one of the cheaper e-ink Kindles. I heard the new ones are very good, for that purpose.
wtf, they're NOT tablets, they're e-readers...
