I expected a product with the ability to be used on it's own. This isn't the version with the android in it. The device is amazing and does everything promised. It's fine if you don't mind having it in front of a computer at all times; however, I will be exchanging it.

This device is amazing and you will be happy you bought it.  The Kindle Fire HDX 8.9", HDX Display, Wi-Fi, 16 GB is an amazing device that displays images like as if they were lifelike.  The device is really light, weighing in at only 13.2oz.  The device has two cameras a 8MP rear-facing camera with LED flash for high-resolution photos and 1080p HD video, plus a front-facing 720p HD camera.  The WIFI is super fast equivalent to the top of the line phones out today (4G).

The thing that separates Amazon's Kindle devices is the fact that their customer service is world class.  So many companies get this aspect of their businesses wrong but not Amazon.  I had a Kindle device that died on me and they replaced it no questions asked.  I have also had to call them occasionally and believe it or not I actually talked to a person, no recorded message.  Amazon gets it when it come to their customer service.

You will not regret getting this device.

Thank you for reading my review, if you have any questions feel free to email me, I would be happy to help you with any questions you have.

It's a fabulous device - easy to use and very powerful.  It does almost everything I want.

My Wishes:

I just wish the Netflix & Hulu apps were not so unreasonably S  L  O  W.

I also wish TiVo and Amazon would get together and make Amazon Instant Viewing part of their service on my TiVo Premiere.

The iPod Touch...this device is amazing.  I have had a while to play with all the features and I have to say that it is a powerhouse.  I love all the different things you can do with it.  You can use the Safari browser to surf the web in either a portrait style mode or in widescreen.  The YouTube application allows you to watch any video on youtube on your iPod Touch.  The Weather App continuously recieved updates on any city where weather reporting is possible.  The Maps App allows you to find directions for any to and from situation.  You can even pinpoint your approximate location using your wireless connection.  There are many other apps that are very useful and make the iTouch seem like a PDA when it really is considered a media player.  You can even check your email on it as long as there is a compatible connection.  Also, if you go to the apple site on your iTouch, you can get additional apps that were created by many other people and are very handy.

Now on to a few of the problems.  In my week of using the iTouch, I have experienced some things wrong.  First, the wifi.  I can't seem to connect to my wireless internet connection but if I go to a pulic hotspot, the connection is flawless.  It may be the iPod or it may be something up with my router.  Needless to say, there are tons of people with problems with the iTouch's wifi.  Most people say it is something with the router's setting while other say that their problem was fixed when restoring the iTouch.  I shall call Apple today and fix this problem.

So, overall...the iTouch is a must buy.  And depending on how much money you have to spend, I would get this version since it is cheaper than the 8GB version without the software upgrade (which includes some left out apps that the iPhone has).

I definitely recommend this product.  Get it and you shall love it. :-)

I have been using this device for just over a month and I love it. I used to have a Motorola device before and this surpasses it in every way by a mile.

I wanted a big screen device for browsing the web, reading, playing games etc. on the device. Since it's huge, it may obviously not be for everyone. I have average sized hands and one-handed operations can be a bit tricky. But I knew this before I bought it and it's not a big deal for me.

Even though the screen is larger than most other devices, it is slimmer, and lighter than most of it's competitors. The display is awesome - bright and big of course. Love the stylus and the stylus Apps even though I don't use it as much (not yet). Love the features like Multiview, Eye track etc. There are many other (Samsung specific) features on this device that I still need to learn. Battery life is awesome (especially for such a big device) - usually lasts over a day without charging. And the software performance is fast and smooth. Camera seems to be about as good as an iPhone and have a lot of nifty built-n features.

The only negative is that the back is not metal, just plastic, so it doesn't appear to be sturdy.  Also, it is smooth, so it may be harder to grip for some. I bought a slim case with rubber grip to resolve the issue.

Good job, Samsung.

This device is definitely the technology that I've been looking for and I highly recommend it; especially for
Iphone and Ipad users, like me.

I love every features that Iphone/Ipad provides; however there are 2 things I really hate -
1. They take so much efforts for transferring songs, vidoes, pictures and everything else through Itune.
  I believer most of the people would agree that this is a very painful process.
2. They do not support external storage, so bigger size of storage would costs a lot more.

This device is the best solution to accommodate my dissatisfication for my Iphone/Ipad with the following
reasons -
1. It's basically like a USB drive to store data, like songs, videos, pictures and it opens up the wifi
  connection to allow your smart phones and tablets to connect to, just exactly like connecting to
  your normal wifi router. An app can be downloaded and easy to play the videos, songs, photos and view
  different documents from the device. If you like to data to be copied to the phone/tablet or vice versa, you can
  easily do that as well.
2. It offers 3 different storage size, 32/64/128 GB. It can prefectly be used as the external storage and don't
  need to pay big bucks for additional storage.
3. Price point is well set. The one I have only costs $59.99 for 64GB.
4. WiFi connections is stable. Watching videos from the device is very consistent, very smooth, the connection
  never drops.
5. The quality, look and feel, size is all good. It can be put in your pocket or purse while watching the videos
  from your phone/tablets.

The only thing I'm picky about this device is that you cannot surf internet if you don't have the data plan but
I can live with it by switching back and forth.

What a wonderful device and very easy to use.  I'm recommending it to all my friends.

Since I received this neat little product my complete family won't stop using it. My girlfriend and even my parents (as it is very easy to use) use it oftentimes. I customized literally everything to have the best experience.

The pro's:

- 2TB hard drive (but you can even have it without a built in HDD)
- Great hardware (you can pick and choose)
- Unique software that backs up your phone pictures/videos/music the moment you start the Android/Ios app
- Interchangable skins
- Eminence skin support (Kodi)
- Great community support and helpdesk
- Use your smartphone as remote
- New add ons will be released soon (Bluray, SNES, SEGA Megadrive converter)
- Based on Kodi (need I say more)
- Endless add-ons to download in the Ezee app store

The con:

- Firmware is still not fully stable (small bugs that will be squashed soon as there are updates almost on a weekly base)

Needless to say that I recommend it to anyone who is tired of his/her slow mediaplayer and want an easy to use media player that does what YOU want :)

This little thing is amazing, it does exactly what it claims and the build quality is superb.
It auto switches but has a remote control to manual switch (works great with the harmony remotes) between devices.
Also it is powered passively (no plugs!) and I have noticed absolutely no loss in quality, the video/audio sync is spot on.

I can't think of a way to improve this device. HIGHLY recommended.

The device boots up extremely quickly and is ready to go.  The APP works well and plays the most common formats of movies / music and photos.
If you are looking for a way to take movies / music and other files with you on the go, this is a great device.  You can use any USB stick or SD card to store the files and the built in battery lasts a very long time.  I was using it for atleast 2 hours and it still showed a full charge.  I highly recommend this prodcut.

This is an all around great device. The processing speed is satisfactory It plays music louder than you would expect, with the sound quality still being clear. The screen resolution is great.
The touch sensitivity is not that great at first but you get used to it and it gradually stops being an issue at all. Also the advertised 8GB of data is somewhat false. I whole 4GB of data is system data. But 4GB of data is more than enough for me personally.

A friend of mine was using this device, so I decided to try it out.  I started using it immediately after receiving it, and everything was great.  I highly recommend it.  Jon

It just does everything perfectly. I like photography and even the camera has proven to be a way to have a pretty good camera with me at all times. I check my mail, read the paper, read books in waiting rooms, plug earbuds with mike in and have a hands free phone when riding on motorcycle. Connects automatically to my car stereo for hand free calls. Even take quick notes with the pen. Once you get used to this it does everything. I have piles of music and have infinite variety on long trips. The batter never seems to run out, although I connect it to charge every night mind. The screen is so crisp that reading even with tiny text is fine without reading glasses for me. I have a portable bluetooth keyboard and tiny stand which I use to type long mails and work through web pages when on trips. Infinitely adaptable through apps. It works great as a GPS. A device like this would have been unimaginable even for a James Bond movie some years back.

It does exactly what it promises, and works wonderfully.

I have come to expect top notch devices from Amazon when it comes to their Kindles. I have never been disappointed. A lot of people make the mistake of expecting this to be like a regular tablet. It isn't. It is first and foremost a media consumption device. It is perfect for reading books, magazines and written material. It is great for watching movies and TV shows, listening to music and audio books and simple internet use to include checking your email.  What takes this device to the next level is its deep connection to Amazon and all they offer. Barnes and Noble and their Nook don't even come close to the same experience (I've had that as well).  It's the total package that makes this such an exceptional device. The new Mayday feature works perfectly and is brilliant. I'd love to see that on some of these smart phones.  There is simply no other tablet that I would consider over this with the possible exception of the Surface Pro but that is a far more expensive device and one suited more for production and work. This is absolutely the best device for the money if you're looking for those things I mentioned.

When it comes to gadgets I do my research. I also go with brands I trust. In this case the Toshiba Excite was a double win. It is very fast and has a beautiful display, but it also possesses a HDMI output (micro) that many other devices do not have.

With all the coming technology in TVs and Monitors, you would think that most gadgets would have some way to connect to any display. Other than buying same brand devices that support blue-tooth syncing, you would be out of luck. However, with a $5 hdmi cable, I have a mobile media device I can plug into my big screen and watch all my favorite shows shared on my home media network.

To share media I simply have my Windows Media Player up to date, and through the Toshiba Media player I can select most files (not MKV) from the network device option. The Excite is fast enough that there is little buffering required.

The battery life on this tablet is simply amazing. It lasts for days unplugged if I am using it as an e-reader or internet device. I really only charge it when I am streaming videos from it, mainly for the fact that since it will be tethered to my TV I should have it plugged in since it will already be near an outlet.

The memory card port is another bonus as well. Though with 32gb on the device itself, it is nice knowing I can add more memory if I need. But as I stream everything, this is not a problem.

As far as performance goes, this beast runs smoothly. Before I purchased a tablet I played with a quite a few models. I loaded up the homepages with tons of widgets and apps. I would then switch between pages. This was the only tablet that was still able to glide between the pages. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 (2) was not even able to do this. Apps, videos, music and different files all open with haste and I have yet to see any signs of slowed performance; associated with lesser devices.

Now, I was tempted to purchased the next line of Excites (the smaller, lighter ones) however, though slightly bigger, this line of Excites carries more features. I would definitely recommend a Toshiba Excite to anyone who is looking for a tablet.
