Amazon Kindle Fire Review - Watch CNET's Video Review
In the world of tablets, there are great products and there are cheap products, but very few great, cheap products. For those of you unwilling to shell out $500 for an Apple iPad 2, and who are wary of buying a piece of junk, Amazon.com's $199 Kindle Fire tablet should be at the top of your wish list.
What it is - The Kindle Fire is a tablet with a 7-inch screen, giving it a similar look and feel to the RIM BlackBerry PlayBook or Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. It runs a heavily modified version of Google's Android operating system, includes 8GB of internal memory, and begins shipping to U.S. customers on November 15.
With it, you can read e-books using Amazon's popular Kindle software, download Android apps and games using Amazon's Appstore, purchase music using Amazon's MP3 store, and stream video using Amazon's video on-demand service. The common thread here is that Amazon's suite of digital stores and services are all loaded and ready to go out of the box.
