The Amazon Kindle Fire

The Amazon Kindle Fire has been officially announced at an event in New York after months of speculation.
Its a big brother to the Amazon Kindle that we know and love and is a direct competitor to BlackBerrys PlayBook and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. As well as that larger iPad 2 thing, of course.
As youll read, its not got an incredible feature set, but its price point - see below - sees it pitched above Amazons existing newly redesigned Kindle and the new Kindle Touch yet under Android 3.0 tablets and the iPad 2.
Theres also Amazon Silk - a radical new cloud accelerated browser. Read on for everything we know about the new Kindle Fire.

Amazon Kindle Fire price

The Kindle Fire will sell for $199 in the US, but weve no confirmation on Kindle Fire UK price.

Amazon Kindle Fire release date

The Kindle Fire release date is 15 November in the US, but weve no word on an Amazon UK Kindle Fire release date as yet. You can pre-order today in the US.

Amazon Kindle Fire display

The Kindle Fire will have a 7-inch IPS LCD gorilla glass display with 16 million colours. It was heavily rumoured that the Kindle Fire would be a 10-inch tab, but dont write this off for a 2012 launch.
Its 30 times tougher then plastic, while theres 169 pixels per inch (ppi) - thats more than the 132ppi iPad 2 display.

Amazon Kindle Fire processor

The processor inside the Kindle Fire appears to be a Texas Instruments ARM-based dual-core OMAP CPU, though this has not been confirmed by Amazon.

Amazon Kindle Fire interface

The new Kindle tablet will run a special Amazon version of Googles Android OS - but its not Honeycomb 3.0 its based upon, but an early version of Android 2.x. Theres multitasking as youd expect from Android.
The UI eschews Android Market in favour of an Amazon-centered experience around Amazon Cloud Player and Cloud Drive.
The top of the display shows your name, while theres a search bar and buttons for newsstand, music videos books, documents, apps and web browser. Below the nav theres a "shelf" for your "most read" videos, books and magazines - its all in a Cover Flow-style interface.
Youll be able to browse full colour magazines on the device.

Amazon Kindle Fire apps

The browser is called Amazon Silk - it uses Amazons EC2 computer cluster. Presumably this means Amazon will employ huge processing power (compression) to reduce bandwidth demand on the device and put more processing in the cloud. A bit like Operas compression tech.
Incredibly, Silk learns your browsing patterns and pre-loads the pages you read the most.
There is a tablet-optimised shopping app on board - this is said to comprise simplified and streamlined pages, so it is easier to buy stuff on than the actual Amazon website.
There will be a number of apps accessible on the device, including Pandora (US), Twitter, Facebook, and Netflix (US).

Amazon Kindle Fire connectivity and storage

The new Kindle Fire will have Wi-Fi, but sadly no 3G. Theres also no camera or microphone. Surely Amazon will launch a bigger, better model with these enhancements after Christmas.
Theres only 8GB of storage on the device. so there will be a limit to how much content you can store.
There are no physical controls on the front of the device - everything is touch-based. Amazon has also ensured the Kindle Fire features "no cable" synchronisation - as Apple is planning for iOS 5.

Amazon Kindle Fire Whispersync

Theres full integration with Amazons Whispersync tech. As you read a book on any Kindle device or app, your current place is synchronised across all your devices. The same will happen with movies and TV shows now too.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said at the launch: "Customers love Whispersync -- so we thought you know what people would really like? What if Whispersync also worked with movies and TV shows? Well it does.
"When you get home, switch to your big screen TV. Your movie will be right where you left it.

Amazon Kindle Fire weight

The weight of the Kindle Fire is 14.6 oz - 413g. Amazon says that Kindle Fire is "small and light enough to hold in just one hand and carry everywhere you go".

Amazon Kindle Fire music, video and books

The Kindle Fire can access all the content offered by Amazon (so that includes MP3 and video streaming, though not in the UK unless its announced).
Amazon has said the Kindle Fire will have access to 100,000 movies and TV shows, 17 million songs, Kindle books and "hundreds" of magazines and newspapers.
Amazon Prime Members enjoy instant, unlimited, commercial-free streaming of over 11,000 movies and TV shows at no additional cost. Kindle Fire comes with one free month of Amazon Prime.
There will also be free Amazon Cloud Storage. So that means youll be able to start a movie on Kindle Fire and transfer it to your TV.
Theres also over 100 exclusive graphic novels, including Watchmen, the bestselling - and considered by many to be the greatest - graphic novel of all time, which has never before been available in digital format, as well as Batman: Arkham City, Superman: Earth OneGreen Lantern: Secret Origin and 96 others from DC Entertainment.

Amazon Kindle Fire apps

Theres also access to the most popular Android apps and games via the Amazon Android Appstore. That includes apps such as Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies, Cut the Rope and more. All apps are Amazon-tested on Kindle Fire.

Amazon Kindle Fire and Amazon Prime

The Kindle Fire will also come complete with a months trial of Amazon Prime.
Well bring you a Kindle Fire review as soon as we get our hands on one.

Tips How to Transfer or Move the Video to Mobile Phone

Nowadays, videos is easy to get, either from the result of browsing the web or directly downloaded from video providers like YouTube. And not be as familiar as the downloaded video we move into the mobile phone or cell phone in order to facilitate us in playing or just want to save it. But it is not impossible that we download the video file can not be played on mobile phones, because the ability of mobile phones is much lower compared with the computer in terms of player that is provided. Therefore, before we move or transfer video to mobile phones is useful to do some adjustments, so the video can be played on mobile phones. In this article, I will give some Tips How to Transfer or Move the Video to Mobile Phone.

To be enjoyed via mobile phone, you must convert the video, according to the spec videos that can be played on your mobile phone. Resolution, as well as video formats such as 3GP, MP4, or the other.

Video 3GP produce a more opaque picture and sound bad but a smaller size so that more memory efficient. MP4 Video produces images that are clearer and louder sound but the video format MP4 memory tends to be more wasteful than 3GP.

In any video converter software, you will find some of the following basic settings:

Resolution

Common Resolution mobile video is 176 × 144, 3GP or MP4 format. If the small screen then just 128 × 96. mobile phone screen is larger then a good resolution is 320 × 240. Well, if we set the resolution exceeds the maximum resolution that can be supported by mobile phone then it will fail to play the video or just sound it out.

Bit Rate

This is what determines the quality of the video phone, the smaller the value the more the quality is bad. Generally, the video bit rate in the HP range 56-80kbps for a resolution of 128 × 96, 80-160kbps to 176 × 144, and 160-512kbps for a resolution of 320 × 240.

Just set the bit rate value in accordance with the above. The value is too high bit rate besides consuming a lot of memory, can also occur when the possibility of playing video jams.

Frame Rate

Frame Rate for video mobile phones ranges from 7-25 fps. The greater the frame rate, the more subtle movements of objects in the video. It is recommended to use 20 fps just remember some phone models only support a maximum of 20fps. If you are unsure, set auto is the best way.

Audio Settings

For 3GP, AMR typically uses audio bitrate with some setting. 12.2 kbps is the highest quality setting so that the voice on the video was clear.

For use the MP4 AAC audio. AAC is much better quality than AMR. Settings bitrate of 56 kbps and 44100 Hz sample rate can produce a loud sound and good.

Maybe thats just the basic information you need to know about transferring or moving video to mobile phones. Try to experiment with various settings and compare the quality. From there you can decide what is appropriate video quality and can be played properly on your mobile phone.
