He certainly implied it. You left out his prior paragraph:

For example, Amazon trumpets the Fire’s dual Wi-Fi antennas — a first in a tablet — which is supposed to give you a better, faster Internet signal.

Well, fine, but the Fire still lags the iPad in Web browsing.


He used that example to imply that the wifi was nothing to write home about.
