Amazon clearly know that user interface and experience isn’t Google’s strongpoint, and they’ve really gone to town on it. The experience – as far as we can tell from screenshots at least – certainly appears to have much more spit and polish than your usual Android tablet. And if the photos coming out of the various live blogs are anything to go by, they’re going to look gorgeous too.Īnd look gorgeous they will, thanks to Amazon’s complete overhaul of Android. Amazon’s Android App Store, Kindle, Amazon MP3, Prime Instant video, they’re all there. Think of it more as a web portal into the entire world of Amazon’s online services. See, the Fire is much, much more than Amazon’s usual kindle readers. Software is where the Fire starts to take shape. Don’t expect top-of-the-line processing power here, but with dual-core chips becoming the norm, we’re fairly confident the Fire will blaze along (yes, I did it again) without too many problems. The power will come courtesy of a dual-core TI OMAP4 CPU, though at the moment not a great deal is known about it. Gorilla Glass is used for the screen, too, meaning it should cope with all the usual bumps and scrapes these kinds of things always seem to suffer. Hardware-wise, we’re told the Fire will sport a 7-inch, multi-touch LCD panel, just like the much maligned Blackberry Playbook.
