spec wise its not really all that impressive, but neither was the Nook Color and it certainly drew inn a crowd last year.
Thew Kindle Fire has a 1GHz Dual-core TI OMPA CPU with 512MBram, It comes with 8 GB storage and 1024x600.
Unfortunately it has no Camera or GPS and the Operating system is a very heavenly worked over version of Android so it does not have access to any Google serveses like the Android Market, Thankfully Amazon has had a Android Appstore for almost a year now, but it lacks 300 to 400 thousand Apps the Android market has.
The Screen resolution is Okeyish for a 7 inch screen however around the same time as this goes on sale Samsung launched the latest version of their baby Galaxy Tab that has a 7.7inch Super AMOLED Plus display with a resolution of 1280×768.
so everything seems a little outdated with the Kindle Fire... however they make up for it with the price
It will only cost $199, Far cheaper the any other tablet in its size range.
so will you get one? or a more powerful tablet and just download the Kindle app?
