∞ A Review of “the First Serious iPad Competitor”, aka the Kindle Fire:
The long and short of the Fire is that it does quite a few things, but doesn’t do any of them very well. It does many of these things really poorly.
It was about a year ago that I reviewed the original Samsung Galaxy Tab — one of the first Android tablets, also seven inches. The main problems with that tablet were: hardware, lack of software, the OS and the price. Amazon only fixes the price and the hardware (mostly) on the Fire, otherwise the device feels very similar — though more closed — than the Tab did a year ago.
That’s probably not something you want someone to ever say about a new tablet: “feels like one I used a year ago.” Tablets aren’t cars, they don’t get better with age, they just get sad with age.
