iOS 7 Preview Video

I watched the WWDC live stream today and Apple gave us a first look at iOS 7. Great looking update.

As long as there aren’t any MobileMe like roll out issues, I think Apple has another winner here.

Kindle Fire Unboxing

My Kindle Fire has finally arrived. When I ordered this color Kindle on the day of it’s announcement I didn’t realize how long I would actually be waiting for this thing. But it was worth the wait.

If I was to do a quick review it would go something like this. If you need an ebook reader, then the Kindle Fire is the best device thats out there unless you plan on reading in bright sun on a regular basis. If you do, then you’ll want the regular Kindle instead. The Kindle Fire is also a pretty good tablet. If you have $500 and need a tablet, then the iPad 2 should be your first choice. But if you only have $200, then get the Kindle Fire.

Bottom line:

Excellent ebook reader
Decent tablet

Now here’s the unboxing pictures that I took

Color Kindle

On September 28th, right after it was announced, I pre-ordered the Kindle Fire, Full Color 7″ Multi-touch Display, Wi-Fi. Yes, that’s the new color Kindle. I usually don’t buy something without reading all the reviews and doing some research but since this is a brand new product I wasn’t able to do that. All I could do was watch videos like the one below. And that was enough to convince me that I wanted one.

Don’t get me wrong, I still want an iPad 2 but I don’t have $500 right now. But I did have about $150 in Amazon gift cards so this was a no brainer. Watch the video and make your own decision. When it ships on November 17th, I’ll post a full review of the new color Kindle, the Kindle Fire.
