| − | Design
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Kindle Fire bears a powerful resemblance to the BlackBerry Playbook in terms of the weight and feel of the machine. The design itself is incredibly streamlined, including just a power button on the unit. With its relatively small dimensions of seven.5 x 4.seven x 0.45 ins, the Fire is small enough to fit in a reasonably sized pocket or be held one-handed.

| − | The 7-inch multi-touch display with IPS (in plane switching) provides a maximum resolution of 1024 x 600 at 16 million colors. The ISP technology used provides a superb array of viewing angles, allowing the display to be viewed at 178° and greater.

| − | Despite having a lower resolution than the iPad, text on the Fire's display looks crisp and sharp. The display doesn't utilize e-Ink technology though nonetheless, so if you want a Kindle primarily for reading I recommend one of the earlier models which function an e-Ink display to lower eye strain over extended periods.

| − | The Fire isn't too strong on the connectivity front. There is assist for Wi-Fi, but no assistance for Bluetooth, 3G or GPS. The headphone jack is incredibly handy for when you want to watch movies or listen to music in private.

| − | User-interface
| |
| − | | |
| − | Amazon has taken a leaf from Apple's book and opted for simplicity when designing the Fire. The user-interface is pretty easy and supplies effortless navigation by means of the touch screen. There's a screen to flip via all your digital content plus a symbol tray to store your favourite items.

| − | Final Thoughts
| |
| − | | |
| − | When all is explained and done, the Kindle Fire isn't an iPad killer, but it sure packs a punch with its spec and is a great entry for Amazon into the tablet market. The shortage of cameras, extra internal storage options and 3G connectivity will be off-putting to some individuals who are after a full-fledged tablet experience, but for lots of who are after a pure media usage machine, what the Fire delivers will suffice.
