I've been pretty out-of-touch with smart-phones and tablets; my family is all geared towards desktops and our non-smart-phones.
I recently took some birthday money and purchased a Kindle Fire with tempered expectations.
Really, I bought it as a toy.
As such, and so far, it's proven to be a winner.
Since I don't "know any better", it feels pretty responsive, the screen looks good and it surfs the web fairly well ( as I type this from my desktop.)
One of the things that has passed me by but I'm now fully engaged in is cheap apps.
Holy crap is it easy to buy games/apps when they're $0.99.
So far, nothing is tremendously standing out on its own -- but grabbing it for an hour of entertainment at night is proving to be really easy.
OK, Splashtop just finished downloading. Time to see if I can "stream" movies from my home PC to this guy.
