kindle fire is a piece of junk outside the US Orange Send a noteboard - 28/09/2012 10:33:12 PM
none of the cloud services work for me.
I gave it to my brother which proceeded to root it and install ICS instead of the lame Amazon proprietary OS.

Now it is decent but still has a low grade spec since it's power is supposed to come from the cloud services.

Avoid iPad. Nebhead - 27/09/2012 10:49:36 AM 768 Views
That's my gut instinct. Rebekah - 27/09/2012 01:33:05 PM 761 Views
The Asus Nexus 7 16gb should be avaliable in the UK for about £199 Roland00 - 27/09/2012 03:01:17 PM 680 Views
Apple provides the absolute best overall experience for tablets. Tom - 28/09/2012 05:42:59 PM 723 Views
Why not Kindle Fire? Cheapest by far. *NM* Aeryn - 27/09/2012 06:42:19 PM 334 Views
Because you're then locked into the Amazon ecosystem. Nebhead - 28/09/2012 10:36:28 AM 684 Views
As opposed to the Apple cult? Apple doesn't have anything comparable to Amazon Prime. Aeryn - 28/09/2012 02:01:34 PM 691 Views
Amazon Prime is mainly a US based service Mark - 28/09/2012 04:43:15 PM 809 Views
If they're based outside of US, that would be relevant to mention in the post. Aeryn - 29/09/2012 02:05:32 AM 767 Views
Just get the Amazon Prime app for the iPad, then. And the Kindle app. Tom - 28/09/2012 05:38:09 PM 728 Views
I would also advise again iPad Aeryn - 27/09/2012 06:44:09 PM 689 Views

Nope. Rebekah - 27/09/2012 04:57:41 PM 756 Views
