Se andavam ansiosos como eu para ler as primeiras reviews aos novos Kindle, nomeadamente o Kindle Touch e o Kindle Fire, o The Verge terminou com a espera e divulga hoje as primeiras reacções aos equipamentos.
Podem ler as primeiras impressões no próprio site (até porque são bastante extensas), mas deixo aqui alguns excertos para atiçar a curiosidade.
"While the touchscreen might feel like a "new and fresh" twist on the typical e-reader, in reality the device is still riffing on Amazon's original Kindle, with few tweaks to shake up that landmark experience."
"Amazon is right, the device does disappear in your hands. I just wish that when I am paying attention, it was a little more striking"
"What's new (at least as far as Amazon is concerned) is the touch sensing, which is actually embedded in the bezel and works optically, meaning you can use it with gloves on, and there's nothing on top of the E Ink to lessen readability (a problem with early touch e-readers)."
"The Kindle Touch's most obvious addition is a touchscreen, and it works flawlessly."
"Amazon has had a Kindle browser(...) It's totally competent for reading the mobile versions of sites"
"What's more striking about the device is just how identical it looks in comparison to a product we've seen before. Namely, the BlackBerry PlayBook."
"I found myself accidentally pressing the power button when I was typing or holding the tablet in certain positions"
"I do like the general aesthetic and feel of the Fire. After using this device and then going back to the iPad 2, I was struck at how big and bulky Apple's tablet feels."
"the software experience of the Fire isn't wholly disconnected compared to other Android tablets or phones"
Shopping on the Fire: "the experience is far more integrated than it is on the ipad or any other android tablet"
Browser: "I didn't notice any page load times that I would consider noticeably speedier"
