My Kindle Fire HD - Upgrade Review


My Kindle Fire HD - Upgrade Review



Let me start by saying that as an owner of the previous Kindle Fire, the new Kindle Fire HD is an upgrade in every facet. The screen is truly vibrant, with rich colour saturation and contrast, and the resolution is much higher. This device delivers a much better quality across the board. It has really surpassed my expectations for watching movies and TV shows. The sound from the speakers is remarkable. The quality is very noticeably better. So far I haven't heard an MP3 or video where I had to strain to hear, and oftentimes I have to back down on the volume; you have to hear it to believe it.
This is the best tablet thus far I have ever used in terms of usability for the touch-like nature of the display. Many other tabs are very particular about how hard you need to press before registering, not with the Kindle Fire HD. I have not had the device register anything false as of yet.
The processor is extremely fast, perfect and smooth. I have not had any lag what so ever with the tablet. I play a lot of games on mine and they all run perfectly. With the original Fire the memory was partitioned but with the new device you can use all the user-available memory for anything you like; books, video, music, photos, etc. That is a huge improvement in my eyes.
The text-to-speech for books is awesome; the voice is a female and sounds much less robotic and computer-like than before. On my old Fire the WIFI was very choppy and difficult to pick up but not on this one. It gets all bars across the house and even out in the yard and plays back very quickly. I am looking forward to trying out Skype on this Kindle to keep in touch with my family, also a very cool feature.
The Micro HDMI works as advertised; you get the exact mirroring of what is displayed on your device, unlike many phones with that feature that only allows certain video apps. For the price you are paying you are getting one heck of a deal on a tablet computer. I was so pleased that this device came ready with Bluetooth enabled. I tested it out by taking it to my car and having the Fire HD stream music through my car stereo. There was not one delay or skip with the connection, and it paired up in less than 30 seconds.
Another thing that has been vastly improved for the Fire HD is the email app in which before you would have to scroll back and forth to read an email, as the text wouldn't wrap, this is all fixed now and has a very nice interface for viewing and sending emails.
In conclusion I feel that the Fire HD is really what all tablet users have been waiting for. It is solid, performs well, and has a rich set of features. You will not find a better tablet for the price any time soon.

The Kindle Fire HD - For The Technically Challenged


The Kindle Fire HD - For The Technically Challenged


I really don't think that my wife would object if I described her as totally, 100%, technophobic. She hates almost anything to do with technology. She doesn't particularly like using her mobile phone and, checking her e-mail is an activity which, whilst necessary, has always been a somewhat tense experience - for her and also for anyone else who happens to be nearby.
So it might seem a little strange when I tell you that I got her a Kindle Fire HD tablet computer for her birthday recently. You might be equally surprised to learn that she absolutely loves it. In fact, she has now become the self appointed "Googler" for the family and often offers to look things up on the internet for us (whether we want to or not).
The reason for this is very simple: The Kindle Fire HD is very user friendly and easy to use. It is jam packed with features and functions, a great many of which my wife has not yet used - and, in truth, she will probably never use a lot of the features provided.
However, it is very easy to set up so that e-mail access is achieved with a single tap on the screen. She also uses the calendar facility, which is also simplicity itself to set up for easy, one tap access.
There's no need to wait for a computer to boot up, click through to Chrome or Internet Explorer and then open up your e-mail. There are no error messages or updates to deal with either. In short, all of the minor irritations which seemed to cause my better half so much stress and confusion are now a thing of the past. One tap on the screen and she has access to whatever she needs.
She has now gained quite a bit of confidence and watches movies and TV shows on her tablet. Google searches are also, as mentioned earlier, now well within her comfort zone. I fully expect her to extend her repertoire of technical skills in the near future.
She has gone from someone who avoided using technology wherever possible to someone who makes use of the technology that she needs as and when she wants to. I think that it has been a liberating experience for her.
So, whilst the Kindle Fire HD is absolutely packed full of features and functionality - more than enough to satisfy any gadget lover - it can also provide a lot of enjoyment for the less technically aware thanks to its user friendliness.

Kindle Fire 7" Multi Touch Display With WIFI - Extensive Review


Kindle Fire 7" Multi Touch Display With WIFI - Extensive Review


Introduction to the Kindle Fire:
When it comes to tablets the first thing anyone is going to think is, well that's an iPad right? I don't think anyone actually stops and thinks if there's actually any other tablets out there? There are. Not only the iPad but Samsung also has their own tablet that runs on the Android and I'm pretty sure that everyone has heard the word Kindle pop up in a conversation but they have never actually known what it really is. Well Kindle is a tablet, a tablet PC which has is owned by Amazon. This one in particular, is called the Amazon Kindle Fire.
Features packed into the Kindle Fire:
The Kindle Fire comes with a 7″ Touch screen which produces 16 million colors in high resolution. Fact: The Kindle Fire uses a technology called IPS (in-plane switching) which is a similar technology used on the iPad that gives you an edge on extra-wide viewing that can be enjoyed by people next to you. With the Kindle Fire you're able to read magazines in stunning rich color and not only that, through the Amazon store you're literally able to download millions of magazines and book that support this functionality for the Kindle Fire and it's constantly growing, everyday, with new and exciting reads.
With the Kindle Fire, combined with the Amazon store you're able to seamlessly watch hundreds of thousands of videos by either purchasing, renting or streaming them through the tablet. The Amazon is packed with a dual core processor so you don't need to worry about any delay or lag whilst you're surfing the net, watching movies or reading you're books. Not only that, you can rest with ease that your tablet won't crash while you're multitasking watching movies whilst downloading a new application you wish to use in the background - that's the beauty of the dual core processor.
Those extra bits count:
A tablet wouldn't be a tablet without it's applications and games. The Kindle Fire comes with thousands of applications including Netflix, Hulu, Plus and ESPN. Don't forget about those games, you're able to play those same old games you have always played: Words with Friends, Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies and more. The Kindle Fire has games from popular developers such as Zynga, EA and PopCap.
Technical Details of the Kindle Fire:
  • 1024×768 visual display through the 7″ monitor supporting upwards of 16 million colors.
  • No requirements, wireless and doesn't require a computer.
  • 8GB Internal storage (6gb after OS software, etc) This can pretty much store 80 apps and 800 songs.
  • Battery life lasts up to 8 hours and recharges in 4 hours via included power adapter (please see merchant for type of power outlet)
  • Supports both public and private WIFI networks
  • USB 2.0 Port
  • Supported content: Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively, Audible (Audible Enhanced (AA, AAX)), DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, non-DRM AAC, MP3, MIDI, OGG, WAV, MP4, VP8.
The Kindle also comes with hundreds of extra accessories that can be purchased through the Amazon Store.
Conclusion:
For a tablet that performs like an iPad at around $300 less of the cost it's no surprise that the Kindle Fire 7″ is a very popular item amongst a lot of users. It has every feature that you could possibly want on a tablet. The only downfall I see from the Kindle is the fact that it doesn't have 3G (So it only supports WIFI) The Kindle doesn't actually come with a camera so it's more in the line of the iPad as opposed to the iPad 2. Other than the Camera function (Which really, is what a camera is for) and the 3G the Kindle is pretty much on par if not tons better than the iPad, you also get tons of support from Amazon along with a lot of great extras such as the extra cloud hosting and endless applications, books, music and videos.
The Kindle Fire 7″ is definitely a tablet to put in your list if you're looking into getting a new tablet.
