Before the Kindle Fire was released, there were a lot of doubters. People that doubted the tablet’s ability to appeal to the masses. People that doubted that a forked version of Android would be viable. People that doubted Amazon’s ability to develop a proprietary market for app distribution. Well, look who’s eating their words now. It looks like an analyst… Read more
The first tablet device from Amazon, the Kindle Fire, has seen its fair share of updates since its launch, and now the device is getting another one. This latest update brings the device up to software version 6.2.2, and has one main feature in line: full-screen browsing. That’s not all, though.

Well it’s an estimate but it looks like Apple’s brazen promise that Android tablet sales would not affect sales of their own brain child the iPad was utterly and completely wrong. In fact, Apple predicted that the sales of the iPad 2 would go up because of all the “sub-par” tablets on the market in conjunction with the widespread adoption of the tablet as a… Read more
The Amazon Kindle Fire, the online retailer’s first tablet device, is more or less a big hit for the company. While it may not be the tablet to replace devices like the ASUS Transformer Prime, it’s still a tablet for someone who just wants media at the touch of their finger without having to give up a ton of money. But, with that being said, people who… Read more
Amazon pulled a dirty trick on its new Kindle Fire, as any user that tried to go to the Android Market website would be redirected to Amazon’s. They’ve decided to change that however, as the site can now be accessed from the tablet.

Looks like Conan O’Brien had a little fun last night at the expense of the Amazon Kindle Fire. Looks like Team Coco’s latest release brings to levity to various issues that consumers have been complaining about. Well “bad press” aside, looks like Android is indeed part of mainstream media and pop culture. In any case, the Jeff Bezos look-a-like who… Read more
If you own a Kindle Fire from Amazon, then you have probably been waiting (patiently) for an update that fixes the bugs keeping you from really, really enjoying the device.

The tablet that’s selling like hotcakes gets updated again. Of course, we’re talking about the Amazon Kindle Fire, the little $200 tablet that could. The newest update, 6.2.1, brings fixes for several issues that have been plaguing Fire owners as of late. This includes the ability to remove content from the carousel of recently used items, the ability to… Read more
Android’s market share has been growing on all fronts, at a rapid pace. While smartphone dominance was achieved relatively quickly (due largely in part to the extensive number of options out on the market), the tablet market was another story. Still, the tablet niche is ruled by one company, Apple, but change is in the air. Recent stats put the Android… Read more
The Kindle Fire has, well, been on fire lately. Development surrounding the tablet has been set ablaze, probably by the widespread adoption of the tablet that Amazon built. Unfortunately, it is a pain. A pain to repair, a pain to reset, even a pain to update at times. Well, all that is a thing of the past. Developer Vashypooh on XDA Devs has released a… Read more
