Gaming on Kindle Fire Review

As a hardcore gamer, the very first thing that I tried on my newly bought Amazon Kindle Fire ~ games. Lot of games testing… Kindle Fire is powered by 1 GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 dual-core processor and 304 MHz PowerVR SGX540 GPU. Kindle Fire has 7″ multi-touch (2 points only) IPS screen with resolution 600×1024 px. Its IPS display really shines here (look better than iPad due to higher pixel density).

By the way, Kindle Fire is using the same SoC like Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100G model in Malaysia. Some SGS2 I9100G owners claim that PowerVR SGX540 GPU is better than SGS2 I9100 ARM Mali-400 MP GPU. Does PowerVR SGX540 GPU perform well in all 2D and 3G games? Let’s find out…

Amazon Kindle Fire supports USB Host OTG now

I love Android as open source platform. Good for end users because developers can improve Android devices even the hardware manufacturer does not do so.

It brings stuffs that are not available on stock software like USB Host OTG.

Download SuperOneClick ~ 1 click to root Android device

For me, root access is a must for my Android devices. I have no issue with Android HTC HD2 where custom ROM has root access by default. And Samsung Galaxy S II has CF-Root kernel that provide root access too. SuperOneClick is the application that provides 1 click to root Android device. SuperOneClick supports lot of Android phone and tablet. And SuperOneClick is going to root my Kindle Fire now.
