mothergooseof4 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Ds wants a tablet. Should I get the Kindle Fire or some other android tablet and if so, which one in the under $200 price range? I have a Vizio and love it, but you can't find them anymore. Are there andvantages to having just an android versus the Fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stayseeliz Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 We have a kindle fire and love it. Getting apps for it is so easy! Lots of free apps too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothergooseof4 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Can you monitor or restrict their internet usage on the Fire? Even apps like Covenant Eyes or X3watch are fine if they work on the Fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kiddies Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Just to let you know if you are thinking of a Kindle Fire Amazon has them on sale today only for $129. If you are interested I can pm you the link and promo code...and I swear this isn't spam :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The Fires run a forked version of Android. Amazon will release bug fixes, but has chosen not to do major OS upgrades, preferring to release a more recent version only with the next model. Check out the Google Nexus 7. Overall its hardware is better than the Kindle HD'so, and Google will keep updating the OS as long as the tablet will handle it. With the Nexus, you won't be tied into one ecosystem (there are Kindle and Nook apps), not even for apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it when I got on this morning, and am now trying to decide between it and the Vizio which I also found on Amazon. I love my Vizio and KNOW how to keep up with his internet usage on it. I am unsure about the Fire, but like the price. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
