A great device WHEN you consider price and function, with a
few flaws
By Trevett
I have had the Kindle Fire for
a little over a week now, and I think that is enough time to provide my first
impressions on the device. The first and most important thing that should be
said is that this is not an "iPad-killer." It is not designed to be. I have seen
so many articles and comments comparing this to the iPad, and surveys where
people are asked if they will be buying a Kindle Fire over an iPad this
Christmas. If you are expecting an iPad, or even a tablet, you will be
disappointed. The main purpose of this device is to deliver Amazon content to
you more effectively. It is designed for consumption, not creation. That is the
reason it is so cheap and why Amazon is taking a loss on it. They are hoping to
make up for that loss through sales of videos, music, books, and apps through
Amazon's Web Services. You can also use it to view your own movies and media,
but will find that it is more limited in that way than a regular tablet.
Personally, as someone who has ordered several rentals from Amazon Video, and
had to contact customer support for every single one of them due to problems
with Amazon's Unbox player or purchases not appearing in my downloads, I can
really appreciate this. But if you don't plan on using Amazon at all to obtain
your media, you may want to take this into consideration before purchasing the
Fire. Additionally, the reason this product is so hyped, and one of the reasons
I like it so much, is due to the ridiculously low price. Amazon reviews
shouldn't focus on price, but it is hard not to with this device. On price
alone, this is a five star device. However when looked at the Fire overall, and
when compared with other touch devices (what little there is to compare it to),
I have to give it four stars, since there are a few areas I feel could use
definite improvement.
