All the early reviews of the current fire ’complain’ of having to constantly zoom in to read mags etc.. also games do not seem to be fitting as well as expected on the 7inch screen clearly this smacks of the whole design being really for a larger screen ( version 2?) also there is no mic and with Amazon having recently aquiring YAP for voice recognition i would expect this also would be addressed in version 2. The current fire does not really live up to the early hype of producing an ‘ipad beater’, however the release of version 2 has time to address the current shortcomings plus the opportunity to incorporate late breaking features such as maybe tegra 3 and ice cream sandwich albeit at a higher price point which would be expected if it really wanted to go head to head with apple.I think i’ll wait and see what happens in the new year ( not that i have much choice given that i’m in the uk.) Maybe our introduction to the fire will be version 2.

I will be grabbing the Kindle Fire as soon as its out in the UK! I won’t be waiting for the upgraded version, I’m perfectly sure that the first version will be plenty good enough for me and the upgrade cannot be much better as the original won’t have been out long enough for any major improvements to be identified and sorted out! Hoping the UK release will be soon!!…
