Is this a joke Amazon?  |
That doesn't surprise me, after all Amazon has been lowering screen resolution specs on Fire tablets for years. I bet that new model still won't allow you to watch much without paying out the backside. Hulu with live TV is $40/month. I think Amazon and Youtube are still in dispute so no Youtube. Amazon Prime Video might be an option, but much of what they offer comes at a ridiculously high rental fee or purchase price. So basically the new model will likely have slightly better sound, a bigger but still crappy low resolution screen, the same stupid tilted, nonadjustable screen position, and very little affordable video material to view. For that price you can by a decent 25"+ smart TV.
