The wait is over, its Nov. 15th and the Amazon Kindle Fire is here to set the table world ablaze, last we saw the Kindle Fire was during Amazon press event and we got a good Hands-on of the device. The Kindle Fire is Amazon's first Android 2.3 powered tablet. But from the looks of it, you won't see anything Android on there. Because it is heavily customized with Amazon's own UX. The Kindle Fire has a 7-inch IPS display with Gorilla glass coating, weighs approximately 14.6 ounces, its got 8 Gb of storage (actually 6GB), with unlimited cloud storage. It is a Wi-Fi capable tablet, no Bluetooth or 3G.
The first thing you will notice about the Kindle Fire is the lack of physical button anywhere on the device, its got one and that is the power button, The whole system is enclosed, so the battery is not removable, there are no cameras in the front or in the rear. An Initial Look at the amazon UX; it very simple everything is in front of you, You have got one home screen and it is easy to access all aspect of the device. It's a very streamline approach from what you have on most Android tablets . They app store on the device is an Amazon app store and not an Android App store, so that means you don't have full access to Android apps, but since the Amazon app store in basically the company's version of the Android app store, it should populate soon enough with the essential apps for daily living. Priced at $199 this is going to the hot topic for the Christmas period. Sogo ahead and enjoy our unboxing video below and stay tuned for our full review in the coming days.
