They can also help guide you by placing orange markers on your screen or taking control of your device completely. You see the representatives in a video box,but they can only hear you and see what’s on your screen. You’ll be connected within seconds to a live customer-service representative,24 hours a day,seven days a week. For me, although my hearing is not ideal, dialog is MUCH better on these than on laptop units I've tried.Need help? Just hit the “Mayday” button. I hate using headphones or earbuds as a rule (unless in public but I don't usually listen to anything while around other people) unless I'm wanting best sound in music. As for the Kindle Fire HD, I love the stereo speakers with Dolby and good separation because they're relatively strong and very clear. I also have the B&N Nook app, since I have the NookColor but prefer to just read on the Kindle Fire HD now. A problem for marketing is that, despite the competition, it has NO cameras, not even one for Skype (important for family & friends who like to communicate via video chat), and, more important for many of us, B&N will not allow owners to enable installation of apps from non-B&N sources.Īmazon does allow installation of apps from "unknown sources," so I have (from places like or ) apps like Google Maps in satellite mode, Mantano and also Aldiko to read DRM'd ePub books legally. Re the Barnes and Noble Nook Tablet HD that someone mentioned. But that's still Flash, not the streaming H.264. If you want to watch those same movies on the Nexus 7, you need to install Firefox and Flash. H.264 streaming works when you're on an Amazon tablet, plain and simple. You cannot use the Nexus 7 to view Amazon Prime movies the same way on the Kindle Fire HD. More importantly is the difference in movie support. It's a little different for viewing ebooks and magazines. However, this is not the integrated interface that the Nexus 7 provides. That's the case with Android, iOS, and Windows. You can use the Kindle Android app to view ebooks from Amazon. It's a shame the Kindle get's more attention, the power of advertising I guess. I would also like to point out that my gf has the B&N tablet, and it is much better than the Kindle Fire for several reasons: 1) you can sideload your own content through a removable memory card, 2) it has a better screen, and 3) the build quality seems much better after holding both in your hand. And that is one of the things I love most about Google's tablet: the ability to get content from any provider I want. However this statement in inaccurate:"Buying a Nexus 7 locks you into Google's Play store and its movies, newspapers, magazines, and music."I have BOTH the Kinda Fire app and Barnes and Noble app installed on my Nexus 7. RyedawgAnother great article, as usual, from this site. We always intended to do so but this understandably doubles our benchmarking workload and battery life tests take a lot of time. The article has been updated to include those results. Often times you'll push the brightness up on a low gamut LCD to improve readability or visibility. Bear in mind that a fixed brightness on one display may look different on another because of gamut differences. While not real-world, it does provide a window into how devices compare to one another in that specific scenario. Having said that, a while back, we also started to standardize our battery life tests to a fixed brightness setting. There was an interesting case study a while back by AMD that pointed out most people use their devices at maximum brightness, and we've always strove to lean more toward real-world conditions. JoepaiiiWhy not normalize to a constant brightness level on all tablets rather than max for the battery rundown tests? Since they all have different max brightness, your tests aren't that reliable for judging true battery life.
