    the Fire has real potential. but this V.1 model has two huge problems:

    – no cameras. so families can’t use it for video calls – the #1 thing grandparents and extended families want to do. and it also can’t become a “shopping appliance” for Amazon because you can’t scan bar codes to compare prices.

    – it’s ugly. cheap does not have to mean no style at all.

    both these flaws can be readily fixed, and no doubt will be. buyers should wait for the Fire 2 next year.

  • All the things that the Fire doesn’t have or doesn’t do well, I can do on my iPhone.  I can take pictures, videos, listen to my iPod read emails and make phone calls and it’s much more portable.  What my iPhone does not do well however due to the screen size, the Fire will do well:  watch movies, read books & magazines and play games.  I can do all this without the eye strain that I get doing these things on my iPad.  This is why I ordered one.
