kindle fire question

joshualintag · 10-22-2011, 11:59 PM

Will Kindle fire have 3D graphics that can play Minecraft Pocket Edition?
Or can it play Sprinkle?

Does it have bluetooth?
Or A Gyroscope so it can be used as a steering wheel?

it will be able to play SOME 3d games but it wont be as smooth as any of the true tablets with have faster and bigger CPU's and have more on board ram. and no it does not have Gyroscopic functions like most mid/high end tablets
and it does not have a camera, or sd card.

It looks like a good device for Reading, web surfing, watching video/listening to music and even playing most of the low to mid ranged games but would stuggle with some of the high end near game console type games.

if your looking to play higher end games primarily then you should look at the samsung galaxy tab 10.1, the Toshiba Thrive , ipad2 or if your looking for a smaller form factor look into the acer iconia a100 or htc flyer. good luck on your search!

Thanks for the reply
but
Wait! Does it have bluetooth?
I would like to get music from some of my friend's cellphone.

What are the free apps you are going to get when you buy it?

and

Does it support .mkv files because I want to watch Blu-ray quality with it.What other
Movie file extensions can it support

As of right now it is unknown if there is Bluetooth, but I would guess there is no Bluetooth. The Fire supports MP4, VP8 video files. Why would you need "Blueray" quality on a screen that small? It's a complete waste of storage space. There are apps such as Handbrake to convert video from one format to another suitable for each device you own.

The Amazon Appstore FAQ: Kinde Fire says:

Quote:

Your app cannot require a gyroscope, camera, WAN module, Bluetooth, microphone, GPS, or micro-SD to function.

So, no gyroscope and no Bluetooth. It does include an accelerometer.

Like I saw a Rango on the demo. Will you get that for free?

It's unknown (as far as I know) what apps and movies will come with the Fire. Amazon has been giving away an Android app a day for a while now, and I'm assuming that will continue with the KF.

Since no one has a Fire in their hands yet, why don't you do your own research instead of posting multiple questions in multiple threads? Try Google and Amazon.

Sounds like you might be better off getting a Playstation Vita. It's for games.
