I saw that the Fire's already been rooted, but I haven't seen the video or details yet. The Verge had a little blurb and had attached a link going to some Android forums for details, but I had to pop downstairs to open the reference desk and haven't had a chance yet. Apparently the Fire does come with a Bluetooth chip, the software just doesn't support it (strange, eh?), so I'm sure some custom roms will remedy that, and then you might be able to get a little Bluetooth keyboard for those who don't like the the 7-inch ones. Of course, a physical keyboard adds weight and is just one more thing to carry. 
Can you flip it to landscape and type that way? I prefer the portrait, since I've got small hands. There are keyboards out there called thumb keyboards that let you hold in landscape and type with your thumbs. I haven't tried it yet, but people seem to love them. |
You can flip it to landscape, but the keyboard's still too small in my opinion, although one nice thing about landscape in that it fits really well in the palm of your hand. All of these devices, even the larger ones, conspire to make one-handed typists of us.
