Next Gen Kindle Fire
Anyone know anything about this? I think I want.
Amazon’s New Kindle Could Come in September By Andrei C. | Jul 17, 2012 Add a comment .Posted In Android, Games & Gadgets, Mobile Devices Reports are that Amazon’s new Kindle Fire will be unveiled in September. The new device is expected to come with an improved display, both in terms of resolution (1280 x 800 pixels) and PPI (216), all on the same screen size. It will also be lighter, thinner and feature a built-in camera, although it’s not clear if it’ll be front-facing or not). All of these details come from AllThingsD. I’m betting the new Fire will include an improved chip, maybe a Tegra 3 Quad-Core. The New York Times says the device “could compete more directly with the iPad, according to a developer briefed on Amazon’s plans who did not want to be identified talking about unannounced products.” Ironically, the Kindle Fire’s strongest feature isn’t within the device itself: It’s Amazon Prime membership, which for just $79 a year provides access to a huge collection of movies, TV shows and books, plus upgraded shipping. http://news.dice.com/2012/07/17/amaz...n-kindle-fire/ |

And you can run XBMC on Android tablets now too. Which makes them infinitely better as a media consumption device. It's still in development, but should be final soon, and will run without rooting. That jumps Android tablets up to iPad capable level by itself. At least least for what I use a tablet for.. XBMC for Android

I do like how you can find a comma on the iPhone keyboard, but my fire keyboard doesn't have one. That's a terrible bias. And despite that I love my fire... |

Do you mind sharing why? What does the Nexus 7 have over the new Kindle Fire?

Has that worked pretty well? My wife has expressed some frustration with hers from time to time, so I've debated it. If so, got a ROM you recommend?
