Maybe it's my bitter experiences from working for those (multiple expletives deleted) but I'm just not impressed by their abomination of an android "fork."
yeah i'm worried that if i get one, it'll be like my current kindle fire i was all excited then disappointed after a while. the lack of volume rocker drives me absolutely CRAZY and I feel like throwing it at the wall.
when they talked about having wifi issues, the only device that really has trouble with my wifi IS my kindle
the kindle fire is tied to my other disappointment the Bendi and is mostly used as my audio book stand/player when we go to bed (tied to an audio system so that I can actually CONTROL the volume)
No volume buttons? what the what? Didn't everyone learn from Apple leaving those off of iPod touch v 1.0?
my first gen iPod touch had a volume rocker, only my Kindle Fire didn't have that. The new LARGER Kindle Fire HD has volume rocker now but the refreshed 7" don't
Oh – i remember the first one not having any button other than the power button. Seemed a huge oversight when I handled them… but I didn't buy one until 2nd generation, so I might be misremembering. (this page is one of several that indicates that the 1st gen did not have buttons: http://techtips.salon.com/differences-between-first-second-generation-ipods-3233.html)
