All the Kindles announced today are now up for pre-order, mere hours after the event. This includes the e-readers too, like the Kindle Paperwhite. While we love e-readers here at DroidDog, our focus is definitely on the Kindle Fires. We reported earlier on all three of the new models, which includes the updated Kindle Fire, the new Kindle Fire HD 7″,… Read more
The 7″ Kindle Fire HD is pretty much identical to the 8.9″ HD, except for the size. It’s powered by the same dual core OMAP 4470, has the same dual Wi-Fi antennas, dual speakers, 16GB of storage, and HD front facing camera. With that size difference also comes a price difference: the Kindle Fire HD 7″ will be a clean $199. The screen resolution has not… Read more
Amazon has unveiled a new Kindle Fire HD. It’s an 8.9″ tablet (probably my favorite tablet size), with a crazy 1920×1200 display. That’s 254ppi. If that isn’t the best display specs I’ve ever heard (in terms of size, resolution, and aspect ratio), I don’t know what is. It is powered by an OMAP 4470 processor, a dual core Cortex A9 chip that’s not… Read more
At Amazon’s event today, they’ve announced a successor to the Kindle Fire. The famous Android tablet with no visible trace of Android has gotten a badly needed refresh, making it once again competitive. In fact, I’d go even further and say it’s the best on the market for the price. Why? Because they’ve dropped the price of the Fire to only $160. For… Read more

Up until now, we’ve had little information on the subject. But tomorrow, September 6th, Amazon will be hosting a press conference. What’s to be revealed is still a mystery. It’s… Read more
Since Amazon’s Kindle Fire completely sold out earlier today, we wondered what would happen next. Well here’s the answer. The Kindle Fire 2 has been leaked. Information states that there will actually be two new models, one 7″ and one 10″. From the photo, the the Fire seems to be just as plain as the old one, with nothing eye catching about it. And… Read more
For many months now there have been rumors as to what Amazon will reveal next. Will it be the next Kindle Fire? A Kindle phone? Something we’ve never heard of? Up until now, we haven’t had even the slightest bit of information as to when this would be happening, but just yesterday announced they would be hosting a press conference on September 6th….

So the story goes like this: The protagonist of this story (well, antagonist. The phone never hurt you!) was at a campfire. He had a few too many, and dropped it. Straight into a campfire. If it were me, I’d cry. I have no clue what he did or how he got it out, and considering his “condition,” I have to give him praise. He claims the phone “mostly… Read more
The Nexus 7 was made to directly compete with tablets like the Kindle Fire. the 7″ form factor and incredibly low price was exactly what Google was going for, but unlike with the Kindle Fire, they didn’t skimp on internals. But what if you already bought a Kindle Fire, and can’t buy a Nexus 7? Developers to the rescue! Jelly Bean 4.1.1, the same… Read more
HBO Go has been available for phones for a while, but never Android tablets. Well now, the first supported Android tablet is surprisingly the Kindle Fire. You can get the Kindle Fire exclusive app from the Amazon Appstore at the source link. While other tablets are not support (even those with bigger and better screens), at least one is. Soon more… Read more
