Amazon Kindle Fire! Hot or Not?

    Hello DP members,

    Came across another best Tablet which was launched last September: Amazon Kindle Fire.

    The above link contains a very nice video Review about the product. I think it is just another way to get closer to books.

    What is your say on this? Is it HOT or NOT?

    Thanks! :)

    I believe the Kindle Fire is likely to be very successful, purely on the fact that it's an Android tablet at a nice price.

    Now before you complain about it only having Android 2.2 (FroYo), we mustn't forget the fact that it is open source, and thus, Android has an excellent developers community.

    I am looking forward to seeing either Honeycomb (3.0), or even Ice-Cream Sandwich (4.0) ported to the Kindle Fire - once I've seen that running stable, I would be very tempted to import one.

    The Amazon Kindle is actually very hot in the market right now. Most likely won't be as successful as the iPad, but definitely not a failure.

    It is definitely a very hot device, really when you touch it your hands will burned, so before buying one, you guys should really considering buying an anti hot-stuff set of gloves first, you know? for safety, because safety comes first, right?
    Just kidding, he...

    But about the hotness, i really mean it, i read it is currently amazon's best selling device of all time, what else do you need to know?

    Buy Kindle

    like some people said it's at a great price that hopes to eat into the iPad's dominance. But I'm sticking with my chunky 1st gen iPad and my Kindle 3 (with keyboard), that's all I need for now

    I think the Amazon Prime subscription is the interesting thing here. Amazon Prime is basically a competitor to NetFlix. With the subscription to Amazon Prime you can use the Kindle Fire to stream movies, TV etc. Without it, it's not so great.

    It's also clear that Amazon have made the Fire as purely a media consumption device. Compare that with the iPad which was clearly made with the idea in mind that people could use it for work.

    Recently purchased the fire, and for the price I have to say it's much better value than the iPad, although I do prefer it!

    Amazon kindle is recommended for readers. And it doesn't have a any features like ipad, samsung tab has. I do prefer Amazon kindle when it is only being used for ebook reading purpose.
