kindle fire for mom
Mother’s Day is that time of year when we celebrate those unique ladies in our lives. Whether it is our maternal mother or the mother of our children, this is the day to show them how much they mean to us. And what better way to show our appreciation for all they do than by giving them a Kindle Fire.
The Kindle Fire is the new reasonably priced tablet that has made great strides in a field that was previously dominated by the Apple folks. This product has a variety of features and uses all wrapped up in an affordable price of $199. Compared to the iPad that retails for $499, the Kindle Fire appears to be a promising alternative for the cost-conscious consumer. The Fire has a 7-inch screen, two inches smaller than the iPad but big enough to be fully functional. Equipped with a dual-core processor dubbed TI OMAP 4 that can hold its own compared to the dual-core offering in the iPad A5. Both 1Ghz speeds, so you’re amply provided with either tablet.
The Kindle Fire tops out at 8GB of storage space while the iPad can exceed this amount. You get access to free online storage through the Amazon Cloud, allowing you to browse Amazon’s huge collection of downloadable content. In fact, Amazon promotes a library of more than 100,000 movies, TV shows, games, and reading materials that keep you connected to the Amazon brand. Amazon Silk is a cloud-accelerated browser that splits the tasks of loading web pages into two interfaces. This helps extend the 8 hour battery life.
The Kindle Fire runs on the Android operating system, allowing the user to access the widely stocked Android application market. Internet access is achieved through the use of Wi-Fi networks that have 802.11b, 802.11n, and 802.11g access points that provide the user with excellent browsing skills. Magazines and videos come vividly to life through 16 million colors on the touchscreen. This looks like a solid gift deal for the Mother’s Day holiday season. Mom, wife, mother-in-law – all can be considered options for offering a tablet. Now, the Fire doesn’t quite have the power of the iPad, but when you consider that the Fire costs about $300 less than the iPad, you can see the viability of the Fire as a potential option.
