The best gift you can give your kid this Xmas!! More on Amazon Fire here
"It's small, light (just 14.6 ounces), flat, and has an IPS screen and a look and feel that's reminiscent of an iPhone 3GS. Inside a mobile processor of unknown lineage purrs away at an undisclosed speed, although Amazon felt the need to tell us it's a "dual core" one. The screen has 169 pixels per inch, with a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels, and Amazon is also bold enough to say the IPS tech that drives it is "similar technology to that used on the iPad," because Apple's made a big thig about its choice of screen tech in the past. It's got 8GB of on-board storage, good for "80 apps, plus either 10 movies or 800 songs or 6,000 books," but its connection to Amazon's cloud content feed means the internal storage size isn't really an issue.
The battery is good for eight hours of "continuous reading" or one work or college day, or 7.5 hours of video "with wireless off," and Amazon notes the battery performance will vary with use, such as browsing the web. It has no 3G, but does have a Wi-Fi card that supports up to 802.11N networks, either public or private, but can't do ad-hoc or peer-to-peer wireless connections. And in terms of connecting to a computer, there are zero system requirements "because it's wireless and doesn't require a computer" (a slightly irrelevant dig at Apple's need to tether iDevices to a computer)."
