A turn off for me.

At least with the iPad you have options.

IPad is the very definition of a locked-in ecosystem. Apple, hello?

Maybe I'm not giving credit for Friday morning sarcasm.

GPS?
mauricioz@... 21st Sep
Broadcom BCM2076 Multifunction Monolithic IC with GPS and GLONASS AGPS, Bluetooth 4.0, and FM Receiver/Transmitter

Amazon doesn't claim to have GPS on the Kindle Fire.
I suspect that the GPS functionality on this IC is either disabled or isn't utilized by the version of Android used on the Kindle Fire HD. I also didn't see a clearly marked GPS antenna within the tablet. The IC may have the functionality, but the device may not be built to use it.

on top of things as always
Wally World came to its senses and followed Target by discontinuing a device that is basically a gateway for a competitor.

What screwdriver set are you using to do the disassembly?
I use a variety of screwdrivers, metal blades, etc. to crack open devices, but the screwdriver and bits shown in this gallery are part of the 54 Bit Driver Kit from iFixit.com.

Won't load for me ...
Did you try refreshing the page? It loads for me. You'll have to make sure you aren't blocking javascript on TechRepublic or CNET.

Been like that for 15 minutes now so at a guess I would say that it's not working.
