Amazon’s Kindle Fire-Looks Awesome!

No point in going into specs, look at them here.   Here being the Amazon product page.   Amazon knocked the competition around today with their $199.00 tablet.   That’s $199.00!!!


The specs and content look good, more importantly their new browser named Silk looks very good.  They claim to have married the Kindle to Cloud computing with the “heavy lifting” being done by Amazon’s robust servers lurking in their cloud.   If their claim is valid and this actually does work, it is setting a standard that will have to be met.  Speed is the name of the game and if Silk works as advertised Amazon is going to be way out in front.   Check it out on the Amazon product page!

However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
