Magic Movies

It seems everywhere you look there are movies with magic ranging form kids to adults. Magic movies about sorcery and witchcraft can be found just about anywhere. Two of the biggest series out right now are the Twilight series which is set to break records left and right. The first movie was low budget and still made several hundred million at the box office. The next movie not due out till next month is already being sold tickets for.

Although it is not technically a magic movie is it in the same genre as many of the others. Harry Potter is another series that has been dubbed the most successful movie franchise in history surpassing Star Wars. That is a huge feat in itself and they are not done. There are still a couple of more movies to be made in that series.

Movie Reviews

Magic movies have been around for decades. The illusionist was a great movie that did very well at the box office. Another great one was the Witches of Eastwick. Jack Nicholson was awesome in that movie. So not only are their great movies about magic but there are also great television shows. Bewitched was a long running classic about magic spells and is still in syndication. The current kids show Wizards of Waverly place on Disney Channel is a mega hit with children and continues to grow in popularity. The premise is based on wizardry and magic spells. There are many options and it seems that the magic popularity is only growing.

Kindle Fire - Review

The soon to be launched new tablet from Amazon which was recently announced by Jeff Bezos on 28th September has been creating a huge buzz amongst tech enthusiasts. The Kindle Fire offers the functionality of a tablet and also a color e-Book reader, but at a very attractive low price.

The Fire is designed primarily as a media consumption device which runs on a modified version of the Android OS. Does the Kindle Fire have what it takes to scorch the competition in the tablet world and be the tablet to beat or does it fall short? Read on to find out.

Features of the Kindle Fire

Kindle Fire - Review

7 inch color (IPS) touch screen (1024 x 6000 display resolution) 8GB internal storage memory 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity Amazon Cloud for unlimited storage of content Lightweight, weighs just 413 grams A single charge provides up to 8 hours of usage Headphone jack, built-in stereo speakers Free 1 month trial of Amazon Prime

Design

The Kindle Fire bears a strong resemblance to the BlackBerry Playbook in terms of the weight and feel of the device. The design itself is very streamlined, including just a power button on the unit. With its relatively small dimensions of 7.5 x 4.7 x 0.45 inches, the Fire is small enough to fit in a reasonably sized pocket or be held one-handed.

Display

The 7-inch multi-touch display with IPS (in plane switching) provides a maximum resolution of 1024 x 600 at 16 million colors. The ISP technology used provides an excellent range of viewing angles, allowing the display to be viewed at 178° and greater.

Despite having a lower resolution than the iPad, text on the Fire's display looks crisp and sharp. The display doesn't use e-Ink technology though however, so if you want a Kindle primarily for reading I recommend one of the earlier models which feature an e-Ink display to minimize eye strain over extended periods.

Connectivity

The Fire isn't too strong on the connectivity front. There is support for Wi-Fi, but no support for Bluetooth, 3G or GPS. The headphone jack is very handy for when you want to watch movies or listen to music in private.

User-interface

Amazon has taken a leaf from Apple's book and opted for simplicity when designing the Fire. The user-interface is very simple and provides easy navigation via the touch screen. There is a screen to flip through all your digital content plus an icon tray to store your favourite items.

Final Thoughts

When all is said and done, the Kindle Fire isn't an iPad killer, but it sure packs a punch with its spec and is a great entry for Amazon into the tablet market. The lack of cameras, extra internal storage options and 3G connectivity will be off-putting to some people who are after a full-fledged tablet experience, but for many who are after a pure media consumption device, what the Fire delivers will suffice.

The low price point of the Fire and its media capabilities are hugely appealing, making it worth serious consideration for anyone interested in enjoying media on the move.
