up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here today amazon took the wraps off a ton of new kindles highlighted by their sizzling kindle fire it is an android-powered touchscreen tablet and these puns just write themselves is it going to set the world on fire is it going to light up the tablet market just keeps going and going but I'm going to spare you my awful jokes at least for right now so let's go ahead and recap what Amazon now so I've got some notes in front of me generally I go note free but there's a ton of stuff as you can see to cover so if I look down that's where it's coming from all right let's start with the king the Amazon Kindle Fire prices that's most people care about is a sizzling told you to view more bad jokes 199 dollars a pretty solid entry level price point but that's going to come with a few limitations so it is a 7-inch colored screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 it is IPS and is covered in gorilla glass 169 PPI you should get a pretty nice screen the gorilla glass is really nice for traveling or the 7-inch tablet even here want to cram it in your pocket he got giant sized pockets I don't have to worry about scratching it one of the downsides of it is it doesn't have any cameras on it I also not gonna have a microphone but it one hundred and ninety-nine dollars do you really care you know the first iPad launched without cameras um I don't use the camera on my tablet very often for a price point one hundred ninety nine dollars to get what the kindle fire is going to do i don't think that's really gonna matter to consumers but am I wrong you know let me let me hear from you so it runs Android with Amazon's new bookshelf you I it looks like a kindle but with the fancy fancy screen you can get access to all kinds of apps and stuff on there as well you know that you'd have with any Android tablet it's running a dual-core TI OMAP p for processors is gonna have plenty of power to do your bidding and hopefully it's going good battery life Kindles have always had ridiculously strong battery life here's hoping that kindle fire is going to have the same 8 gigabytes a storage should hold plenty of your books magazines maybe not so many videos though why you're gonna have free cloud storage I Amazon Cloud sofa gigabytes will help out however it's only going to be Wi-Fi um so that's kind of tough no 3g option is going to be there but again for the price point you know do you really care or would you even use 3g so from a dimension 7.5 inches x 4.7 inches by point 45 inches so pretty nice and thin not overly heavy either pre-orders are going to start today and it shifts on november 15th so it's a while to wait before your fire comes to your door but you can pre-order this guy today uses amazon silk web browser all the stuff you'd expect from a modern web browser built on android will t touching goodness on there as well whispersync includes videos and TV so whispersync what that is essentially it stinks up all of your kindle content so if you're reading let's say a book on your android phone it'll sync up with your kindle if reading it on the android app for the pc or reading on your ipad or iphone whatever you might be using the kindle app on it sinks it all up that's gonna be true now with their video content you're gonna get one free month of amazon prime so that's kind of cool buy all of your amazon stuff for the year during that one month it's free two-day shipping which kinda awesome access to android app store but not google's android market which is kind of interesting actually so Android as multiple app stores amazon has their own on there they've got a ton of decent applications in there they've exclusively launched some of the I think the angry birds rio launched on their they don't have the full content though in the full breadth of content that google's android market does but where the nice things about android is that with the simple link can download almost all the apps that are in android market out having to go android market so you can totally circumvent at least in theory circumvent this restriction but is that going to matter to you so kindle fire way to think you excited not excited i think it's going to probably set the entire tablet world ablaze for lack of a better pun Amazon's got the infrastructure Amazon's got the ecosystem so they're trying to be Apple by kind of being Apple there now totally vertically integrated just like Apple they control a tablet they will control the ecosystem and look control the content totally straight down so it's probably going to make for a really nice competitor if you liked the iPad because of the itunes sync and the content on itunes but you didn't want to be stuck with Apple this is going to be a great great choice for you or even if you don't have an allegiance either side you want something smaller it's gonna make for presumably a pretty great ereader be able to view your video content be able to get some the great amazon stuff on there the fire is going to be a pretty solid choice at a really nice price point but that's not the only tablet i don't know why i'm pointing that amazon announced today the next tablet they announced is the kindle touch to the surprise if no one Barnes and Noble has the Nook touch stand in a color so seems like there's a natural progression for Amazon to make $99 with advertisements which I don't know 140 bucks without advertisements yay they don't like giant pop up all over your screen their little ones kind of bars across the bottom uh would you want to save 40 bucks get some ads on your screen kind of curious what you guys have to say I'm sure some will say yes some will probably say no so it's the same ink display we have known in love at six inches but it's all touch screen me now four gigs of internal storage three good bites cream accessible to the user to month battery so to pull up a menu you touch the middle touch the right side to turn pages left sides to go back it's pretty standard touch interface no keyboard on this guy everything's gonna be done with your little fingers including a on-screen keyboard there you're gonna have a new x-ray feature which is kind of neat that allows you look up information about different facts in the book on Wikipedia instantly so let's say you're reading about dinosaurs and want to know if the toronto service Wrexham glue that big badass you can look up trying to Saurus Rex round on Wikipedia and it'll say on the front line yes trying to Saurus Rex was really that bit of a badass even though he had these little arms couldn't do much I'm sure this is getting screen captured right now with all kinds of bad comments okay bad joke ah that is the Kindle Touch there's also a kindle touch 3g which surprise surprise add 3g 149 bucks with advertisements 189 dollars without lifetime 3g a hundred countries you don't have to pay for that 3g service other than when you buy it there's no monthly contract you buy it and you get the service presumably that's being powered by ett but not coming from confirmed on that everything else is the same as the kindle touch that's not the only kindle that got announced we now have the regular kindle um no more keyboard any more on this guy though everything is done now with some menu options and toggling around did you use the keyboard on the kindle you can still get the old key boarded kindle um but you know nothing's new in it so the kindle 79 bucks with advertisements $109 with out i am as though actually let me back up here the Kindle Touch and the kinkle touch 3g pre-orders start today and shipping is going to begin on november 21st a little while away so the regular kindle $79 with ads $109 with out amazon local deals will be on there so you get local deals no touch no keyboard like i mentioned uh to lighter it's five point nine eight ounces frame is on cloud storage Wi-Fi and it ships today no more notes boom so that was everything that we had in there what do you guys think you excited about the new kindles you're not excited about the new kindles kind of curious what you guys have to say about all these i'm personally excited about the kindle fire uh the touchscreen kindle I don't know I dry prefer buttons it's easier my grandfather's side story loves the kindle he can use the kindle has a awful time using a computer but somehow figure use the kindle on his own you can click a button I couldn't imagine trying to teach him how to use a touch screen kindle but I don't maybe that's just me alright guys we'll have all these devices to cover for you as soon as we can get them in our hot little tech reviewing hands I'm drawn right in your technobuffalo if you have any other Kindle Fire puns leave them down below I'll see you next video bye
