The Kindle Fire
The September pre-ordered Kindle Fire touch tablet arrived this evening. Its 7-inch screen is very nice; the device display is crisp and sharp. The navigational controls are easy to find and configured.
The Kindle Fire is primarily a self-contained Amazon store device. Its pricing and apps are circumscribed about Amazon's business strategy. For this reason, this tablet lacks in suavity, design depth, versatility, and aesthetics when compared to the top tier Apple counterpart, the iPad.
This newest Amazon tablet does come with some pre-installed apps, however. On my unit, it has already a free no-ad version of the 'Words with Friend' installed. A welcome app for someone as I who likes playing this game.
For $200.00, the Wi-Fi accessible Kindle Fire is a solid Android variant tablet. Size wise, it does asserts itself as the missing middle link in the swanky Apple i-device family, albeit the ugly duckling. It will stay as such given its Amazon-centric attributes.
The Kindle Fire now graces the coffee table, along side of some exotic toasters. By next spring its celebrity rank at home will be supplanted by the iPad 3.
