🤣🤣🤣 must be one fast son of a model

Nice work on Google Play Access.

I owned two Fire tablets. Never again with Amazon. They try to lock you into their shitty spamy ecosystem. I paid the premium for Apple tablets and moved on.

Well “Alexa” text in the intro looks like “hello” text from Apple!

Not bad idea. How is the writing, similar to the reMarkable effect? Love the integrated Kindle with adaptive reading display. 🥂

I had some hands-on time with these tablets, and they are super nice. Fit and finish are premium, the full Google Play Store addresses that longtime need, and the screens are quite good. Forget what you knew about Amazon tablets; these are a whole new animal.

You'd have to be insane to buy a tablet from Amazon - all you care about is spamming ads into customers eyeballs.

Literally the first thing I see is the Apple font… I really hate copycats… I would never buy this just because of that – can’t you come up with something of your own?

The real change is underneath. Every Fire tablet ran Fire OS with Amazon's own app store, so YouTube, Gmail and the rest of Google's apps were never officially on them. These run full Android, on sale October 14 from $229.99

Best wishes for its success. I am glad there is some new action in the world of tablets, iPad was getting bored with no real alternatives.

Reason not to buy: unwantes ads like the rest of your products

Me gusta. Envíame una porfa.

Panos, why the obviously copied “hello” text!?

Amazing work. Really impressed!

Distraction free is important!

@stevesi Do they run Roblox well?

Amazon Alexa Devices are coming to dethrone Samsung Tablets (and soon Phones) in the US market. They have the full Play Store. A custom android skin. Deep Alexa integration. Amazon have been steadily improving its first-party apps like Photos, Prime Video and others. They're building an ecosystem of apps and hardware. This came out of nowhere. Amazon suddenly seems like a better Consumer player than Microsoft. What do we call it? The Alexa Ecosystem? Or is it the Amazon Ecosystem? Or is it the Prime Ecosystem? Great job! @panos_panay Could we expect an Alexa Phone & Laptops in the future as well? Also, could you improve the Drive app? Add standalone Contacts, Calendar, Mail, Search, Weather & Password Manager apps? Merge Amazon Music into Audible if possible....

So excited to see new hardware knowing all your expertises, remind me old surface vibes

Why?

Desechables

Someone’s restrictive convents just ended. 😂 Amazing devices though, much better than those before looking at this.
