Amazon's Kindle Fire Tablet

[Jobydrone]

Many agree that the Nook Tablet is a better device...AND it has a built in Micro SD card reader for additional storage.  And it plays more video formats than the iPad and Fire, including MKV.  If I was in the market for a new tablet right now, and wasn't married to my iPad, the Nook Tablet would likely be at or near the top of my list.

I predict the optometry field will BOOM in the next 10 years. :)

Looks like an ingenious hacker was able to put the latest Android OS on a Kindle Fire Tablet.  Pretty cool!

Been hearing some bad reviews or at the very least mixed reviews.  Anyone gotten one yet?

Not bad per se, most of what I have read from the analyst community echo's what I said initially, if you buy this device and think you are getting an iPad you will be dissapointed. Also the 7" screen size, which even Steve Jobs said was too small, and the design of the Fire is getting some criticism. It's a great device for what it does, but what it does is limited.

I've heard a lot have had Wifi network and Internet connection issues. A lot of people are contacting the support team for help so I hear and there's not a lot they can do at the moment cause it's an OS or hardware issue.

I have one, and I like it but am not blown away by it.  The 7" form factor does suit me, but I want more storage on it, or an SD slot.  As Bryan points out, it is a cool device, but limited.
