    the speaker point would be void for me, i'd be using headphones most of the time. despite the bad points i'll probably get one, mainly for the browser, PDF's and being in colour and i'll see if it will play some of the Mpeg movies from my capture card etc

    It would be neat if you'd play this video on the next tablet/e-reader/whatever you review. Then, we'd see that device, playing a video of this device, playing the older kindle review.

    Great video--extremely informative. My new Kindle Fire (received as a gift) is being returned. Your review confirmed my issues w/ it--especially the wifi problems as mine never connected to my network. After hours of tinkering with settings and dwn-loading an update via my cell (it linked fine through my cell wifi), I gave up. Too much competition out there to burn calories fiddling with mediocre product. And it's heavy. Let's see what version 2 looks like.

    When people buy this, they are thinking they are getting a cheaper iPad. They are stupid. A)It's Amazon, B)Android OS, C) Its $200. Come on numbskulls! Haha nice video EEVblog

    Yes, seriously, I wrote that book.

    I checked, that book is 10 years old.

    It's due to licensing agreements with content providers. It's so they can milk as much money as possible out of every region. I hope this type of thing goes away as movie/television studios come to grips with the medium of streaming as a viable revenue stream. Although, there are ways around it...

    Dave, did you seriously write that book?! Aren't you married?

    I liked the idea of a $200 7' tabletl, but now I don't think I'll buy this. Too many limitations. Rather pay the extra dosh for a full android tablet.

    Dave, Hulu is a waste of space, doesn't work at all. "Not available in your region"
  21. TheChipmunk2008, at 11/28/2011 10:58, says:
    I HATE that 'not available in your region' crap. There's NO reason for it other than US arrogance, winds me up no end, does it show? :-)

    Love the review! I'm sure it's a different experience (somewhat) if you can actually get the content.
