Yes and yes, it can. Amazon has launched a new tablet, Kindle Fire. It is a hybrid and portable device which has features of both an eBook reader and an Android tablet. Basically it is giving you the best of both worlds.
Be honest and think what do you use iPad for? Watching movies, reading books etc? Let us be real. Not many of us are jet setting executives who use the Apple tablet for video conferencing calls. Amazon is the first company to recognize this and has given us a product which gives us exactly what we want. Yes, this Fire keeps us entertained. You can read thousands of books, watch movies, listen to songs, play games and download apps. You can also access internet and check your mails and Facebook. And all this at a price you would not believe. Kindle Fire is priced at just 199$. Compare this with the price of cheapest iPad. Here are its features:
· Has 7 inch multi-touch display with 1024x600 pixel resolution and 16 million colors
· Its size is just 7.5"x4.7"x0.45" (inches)
· Internal storage of 8 GB
· Free cloud storage
· Battery life is up to 8 hours.
· Has Wi-Fi and supports public and private Wi-Fi networks.
· Has a USB 2.0 port.
· Has a 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones and top mounted speakers for better audio quality.
To be fair, it lacks features like camera, microphone and GPS because of its low price. But I can live with that. It has a 7 inch wide display with a screen quality which is exceptional for the price. It has a web browser, Amazon Silk, which gives good speed. It has Wi-Fi internet connection. It is powered by 1GHz processor which is fast and efficient. Kindle Fire uses a heavily modified custom version of Android, Android 2.3, which is basically for phones. You can use the Android app store to download popular apps like Zulu, Pandora and Netflix etc. Yes, you can play Angry Birds on this. You can read thousands of books available on Kindle library. Amazon has an enviable collection of more than 17 millions of songs which you can listen to using your tablet. You can read your favorite magazines in color.
I am sorry if this has started sounding like an ad for Kindle Fire tablet, but I am smitten by it. Yes, it was love at first sight. On a serious note though (because it's a review), THE Amazon tablet has two cons. First it has only 8 GB of memory, which is, alas, not expandable. But fear not thee kindle fire lovers, because Amazon has offered free digital content storage on Amazon Cloud. Its second irritating lack of feature is no 3G wireless connection. But it has Wi-Fi. As I getting a neat 300$ discount, I will adjust a little bit and though the lack of 3G connection pains me but I will live. Kindle Fire is totally worth your money.
