Amazon Kindle Fire Review
Amazon Kindle Fire
• Dual-core processor means it runs fast as a tablet in web browsing and gaming.
• 7-inch IPS display (wide viewing angle and great color saturation).
• Weighs only 14.6 ounces (0.91 lbs) – less than a pound.
• Wifi only. Sorry no 3G model yet.
• Ultra-fast web browsing with Amazon Silk – exclusively available on Kindle Fire for now.
• The HomeScreen Carousel View is a beautiful experience. You could scroll through your books, music, magazines, apps with it.
• 8 Hours Battery Life. It is a little bit disappointing. It would be up to continuous reading in 8 hours or video playback in 7.5 hours.
• 1024 x 600 pixel High resolution – you could see more content on the screen.
• 169 pixels per inch – crystal clear and high resolution view for your pictures, magazines, and videos. iPad only has 132 pixels.
• Many famous brand apps such as Facebook, Netflix, Pandora, Yelp, and Twitter are in the Amazon App Store. You wouldn’t get bored with electronic kindle books only.
• An ebook reader, picture viewer, music and movie player, and web browser all-in-one
• $199 – which is a killer to iPad. I am sure that this attractive price is going to a winner this season.

Aesthetically Amazing
Most share the same enthusiasm over the Kindle Fire’s amazing aesthetic features. The product boasts of a 7 inch full color touch screen with 16 million colors on a 1024 x 600 display resolution.
