greetings all this is deke Adams with pocketnow.com and today we're doing an unboxing the kindle fire which just showed up I apologize for the audio quality but I'm not in my normal studio to record this so sit back relax and enjoy the show so the kindle fire is the new tablet from amazon and it is a 7 inch device running a dual core processor 512 megs of ram in the box we've got a charger it's attached to the walmart is not removable and then other than that inside the box here there's a whole lot of nothing this really worry free packaging there are some getting to know your kindle instructions here which we will try they get out and now here you go it just tells you how to turn it on how unlock it not really anything to speak of product information so let's go ahead and get this plastic peeled off and take another look at the device a little closer so it's a big thick black slab of a tablet here down at the bottom we've got the headphone jack the micro USB port and the power button which was glowing green when i first popped it out it's booted itself up as you can see here on the top we've got two speakers and then on the sides and there's nothing else it's just very very minimalistic in the view you've got the screen here there's no touch buttons across the bottom two capacitive buttons that's all done by software is it more just as a holding point there is a sensor up here we'll make sure to determine what that that sensor is so if we just swipe across then it unlocks device and we can see it's got asking is for a Wi-Fi which we will enter in just a minute I'm just going to just pick a random one here and then it's going to want to step us through the configuration so we'll do this real quick and then we'll come right back so here are at the welcome screen and it's showing us what we're going to do it is good of a kin to what the original kindle looked like when you first pull down the box is just gonna head a button to press had some really neat instructions on here this is a really nice layout I really appreciate the fact that most the people that are going to get this device or probably not going to understand Android or iPad or anything like that and this will really help them get started with working with the system so it's talking about the carousel here and we're just going to go ahead and tap through this and so here's our carousel there's not very much content on here yet because we haven't looked at anything but we'll come back to that later in the software of you and then we've got our kind of it moves up and down here to put items down use add to favorites and now it's in this list here and remove it just tap and hold compared hardwired wise to the HTC Flyer from t-mobile really the Flyers just a little bit thicker it looks like a little longer for the same screen size will cover that more in the hardware review as well so we tap up here on the upper right hand corner then we get access to the volume there is no volume key so you have to use this volume slider up and down the brightness so we can go take up the full brightness down to minimal brightness and it's got a pretty good range of brightness their Wi-Fi synchronization a few more options here in the more settings there's that home button if I tap over on this side I believe nothing happens alright so let's go back over here to our our menu down here is our home button our back button the menu button apparently as well let's go ahead and here like pulse you can see the menu button appeared and search as well got the pulse instructions up so we'll be looking at this a little more closely over the next couple of days and posting some more video content so if you have any questions or comments leave them below otherwise thanks for watching hm
