people who out there who have Amazon Prime and use their Amazon Kindle this is going to be a really cool update for you folks with that said let's jump in let's do the unboxing and then talk about some of the features of Kendall's latest product all right folks so here we have it the Kindle Fire HD you can see it's showing some of their apps in the front right there and seven-inch display this is a 16 gigabyte model show you guys the front sure you guys the back HD color touch screen high-definition 1280 by 800 custom Dolby audio now the speakers that are inside this are really custom made there's gonna be two little small speakers they're actually supposed to sound really super good one of the other major features is is built-in Wi-Fi and HDMI out which means the Wi-Fi in this believe it or not is supposed to actually be better than an iPad that's what everybody's rumored to say and with HDMI means you can take this unit and hook it directly to a TV so let's go ahead and start pulling it out just the back there the shipping information I may get something here to open this up with so I got a little thing right here go ahead and use this to break the seal you simply done here think this is mine my glass repair kit thing but hey it worked right whatever works in the eve of the moment so let's see I guess it was actually more like meant to break a tab so I'm gonna take this up here so you guys can hear the camera I'm gonna see you guys can actually hear the tab ripping sound it's live it's not Memorex so alright gotta rip that tab off we're then we'll go ahead pop the top you can see up here in this front thing right here we have a little Kindle thing and saying pull me out so we will go ahead and we shall pull this out this is the getting to know your Kindle it's showing you where the power button up volume up and down where your headphone is where a USB charging and the HDMI now the HDMI on this is a micro HDMI so it's gonna leave you a little bit something different so let's start out right here we all think we're a little paper this is the USB charger so this parts going to go into the Kindle this parts going to be in your USB there's no big blocky thing here so you're not gonna have to use that you can plug it directly in your computer or whatever a lot of the new motherboards actually support that kind of thing and then we've got the unit itself it comes completely sealed in a package now some of the things that are different between this I know you guys like what is in between this and the Nexus 7 well this uses what's called a skinned OS it's not the exact same jellybean OS that the other one had so it looks like it's already come charged up Tuesday September 18th 749 has the date we're doing the video unlock it right from the front welcome to the Kindle Fire you can see my motherboards that work right up here I'm not gonna give you guys my password but all I basically do is I enter my password here for that and then we'll be up in the Internet so I'm gonna step away from the camera for a second all right now it's ask me for the time I've already logged in so I'm in Pacific time zone I'm gonna go ahead and hit that hit continue so I'm Dee registering my Kindle I guess from my friend who actually bought this for me it was registered to his name so now it's asking this will show you some of the stuff so wrap the bat when you go in its gonna ask you to register your Kindle you'll fill this stuff out you guys can see the screen is very clear I'm gonna go ahead and just pop out of this so right off the bat we see we take the cover off you can see that it says get started with your Kindle Fire HD now there are a lot of different things you can do with this it's going to ask you to register it's also going to ask you to log on to your network if you have one you just basically follow all the steps through it you can use all kinds of different devices you can stream movies Prime instant video z' now here going to be some of the things that are gonna be different about this if you're somebody who reads a lot of books you do Amazon Kindle you watch a lot of the Amazon Prime instant video z' then this is going to be better than the Nexus 7 if you use none of those features whatsoever the Nexus 7 action the OS on is actually a stronger OS but this one for the people who use Kindle and all that kind of stuff well it's gonna be a very good thing you got all kinds of apps they've got a store you can log into the store but guess you have to register the Kindle first but the basis is that register page so here's what you're gonna register your Kindle you just go in and fill this information out register and then everything's yours now on the side of the unit there are two connections right here I'm gonna try to move these up to the camera so we can see them one of these is connector one of these is the HDMI so you can take that micro HDMI cable plug it directly in your TV and the big question I have though is what's the resolution on my TV going to be because they don't actually say that in any of the specs so one of the things I'm actually wondering about is will this actually provide me with like 1920 by 1080 resolution on my TV or will remain the same that's gonna be one of my biggest questions rest the stuff over here some of the controls are right here on top right here you can see we have a headphone jack we have the controls for your volume and all that and your on/off switch right here all conveniently located units very very thin it's very very light you guys can see on the back side it says Amazon Kindle some of the other really cool things about this thing is it has exclusive Dolby audio with dual driver stereo speakers for immersive virtual surround sound it's the world's first tablet with dual band dual antenna Wi-Fi for 40% faster downloads and streaming compared to the iPad 3 it's got a high performance 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor with imagination power VR 3d graphics core for fast and fluid performance so that's the stuff that's gonna really help you with all your apps and stuff so there you go folks I mean it's the new Kindle HD fire the big things about it are really going to be its new processor it's faster does the internet better it's gonna stream movies better can connect to your TV there's just all kinds of things about it coming in at $199 it's really set to compete with the other products out there like the Nexus 7 the choice with this being between that and that is the applications that you use for me personally I think this is gonna work out for me just perfect I read Kindle books every day I have the Amazon Prime account I stream the movies I watched in my living room so this will be a really cool device that can pass around to my family everybody can use it and have fun with it so $499 I think it's gonna be really great product we're gonna bring you more videos where we actually use the thing more and we connect it to our TV and see how it does so thanks for watching we'll see you back here on tech of tomorrow
