Djcn: 'Bigoted iFan'?! Don't make me laugh. Just because I can confidently tell you that this is not nearly an 'ipad killer' i'm now a 'bigoted iFan' abi? You seem to struggle with English language. You claimed that the Kindle Fire has 'so many cool features'. I've asked you to name them, especially excluding the Amazon exclusive features that will not be available in Nigeria. Instead of rising to the challenge you're taking the easy way out. Djcn: I implore you to flee from lies. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 has not been released anywhere in the world. Always strive to speak the truth at all times. Djcn: We are talking about this Kindle Fire NOW, not any future version. Please restrict your analysis to this. Djcn: I don't know what you're smoking, but in case you've forgotten, data bundles in Nigeria have crippling data limits. I'd much rather have my 10Gb of music and videos on demand instead of having to stream them every time I want to play music. Cloud storage would be useless to you when you have to take a trip by road from Lagos to Benin. Djcn: Cool story, but what has this got to do with this article? Djcn: iPad Rival =/= iPad killer. Show me how many analysts called the Kindle Fire and iPad killer. Yes, the Kindle Fire will take some sales away from the iPad, but it's much more likely to hurt sales of regular Android tablets. |

Wallie: You speak with wisdom! As someone who purchased over 4 Nook Colors in the past, i'm looking forward to buying a couple of Kindle Fires just to play around with. They'll make excellent gifts too |

hi all, i find this topic really interesting, i just need some clarification, It has wifi built into it so you can use that to connect to wifi devices to access the internet, although I'm afraid you'll be largely limited to Amazon's content services. If you seek a tablet that can access the internet and still make use of Microsoft Office documents and even use flash drives and external hard drives, you can get an Android tablet. One I gladly recommend is the Asus Transformer. It's solidly built with good features and it's quite affordable. Let us know if you require a quote. |

OOG: 90% of Android tablets come with office apps (Quickoffice, documents to Go) built in. I can't imagine that this will be different. Also, he'll be able to access his local files too. So he isn't exactly limited to Amazon's content services. |
Re: Amazon's Kindle Fire Tablet: Ipad And Galaxy Tab's Possible Rival by okeyz(m): 6:59pm On Oct 04, 2011 |
texazzpete: so are you saying the fire tablet comes with all these features, including the internet connection with modem? |

From my distant and possibly vantage observation point, it appears Amazon and Jeff Bezos (i hope i got his name right) are getting into a fight they cannot win for two reasons: For the Kindle Fire to effectively and efficiently kill the ipad, it must pack enough "firepower" to launch itself in a blue ocean. . .from its features, this is not the case. Secondly when you want to fight a biggie like Apple, you must be the first to hit and hit hard. . . clearly Amazon has hit Apple but this their hit feels and looks awfully anaemic to me. |

texazzpete: Most likely you seem to enjoy a cycle of never ending debate. That issue has long been answered only if you had patiently read through. What other features do you expect the tablet to have considering the price tag. Features does not exclude content, be broad minded. Ipad is not the most sophisticated tablet or one with the highest specs but d apple store delivers on content and that's what the world needs content. The kindle fire is definitely cool and that has been proved by maintaining the top spot in amazon store and the large nos of pre-orders will run into millions even before it becomes available. texazzpete: I have always warned you earlier, never be too fast to pull the trigger, its not a first shooters game. A mix-up with 8.9 which doesn't ve much difference with 7.0 and 7.7. texazzpete: Yes the kindle fire has all it takes to sour above every other tablet in terms of sales purchases. This will be proved soon and They say Customer is always right. texazzpete: Pipe low, don't make so much noise cos Some few years ago systems had a total of 6GB HDD. Make do with what have, no matter what storage can can never be enough.Even the ipad2 cant contain just 3 blueray movies. So what's the shouting about? texazzpete:The device was not made considering Nigeria factors. So stop asking the importance of the device for Nigerians, even at that a lot of Nigerians will get one considering the hiccups. texazzpete:Just google Ipad killer, post the hits. texazzpete: English Language, English Language, English Language, All of these are technical jargons ipad killer, ipad rival, ipad destroyer, Apple shivers, apple re-strategies etc. It all depends on the meaning you want to give to those words. If the tables sours above the ipad in terms of sales, it will have killed the ipad in the sense that the Apple ipad currently maintains from 50% to 90% of tablets sold in different countries each year. so what are we talking about This should only move apple to consider a lower pricing for the ipad while delivering on content or produce a lower end device to capture the market. yes i foresee one of these options. texazzpete: Wont be surprised if you're congratulating yourself , so you mean you can manage to use one in Nigeria. I think i only need the kindle touch with 3g. I'm back to the farms |

Anyone who compares this device to an Apple iPad or iPad2 is either: a)high on drugs b)does not know about mobile devices c)works for Amazon. .NET |
