How would you change Amazon's Kindle Fire?
The Kindle Fire is less a tablet and more a $200 window into Amazon's storefront. The 7-inch slate that shares its DNA with the BlackBerry PlayBook lacks any physical features bar a micro-USB port, headphone jack and speaker. Internally, that 1GHz CPU is paired up with 512MB of RAM and 8GB storage, with no option for increased size, Bluetooth, 5GHz WiFi or 3G.

Download & Install CM7 barebone ROM for Kindle Fire
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich ROM is not perfect on Amazon Kindle Fire yet. So I prefer to have Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread CM7 ROM on my Kindle Fire than Android 4.0.3 ICS CM9 ROM. Luckily, there is not much custom ROM for Kindle Fire (compare to Samsung Galaxy S II). So I can test all CM7 ROM for Kindle Fire.

Thanks in large part to the success of the Amazon Kindle Fire, the Android tablet marketis finally heating up and starting to impact Apple iPad market share. With the new OS 2.0 update available for the BB PlayBook, I recommend people seriously consider one for $199 instead of the $199 Amazon Kindle Fire if they are looking for more of a tablet than an ebook reader.
