You can see a side-by-side comparison of my tweaked Kindle Fire and several competing 7-inch Android tablets on my site. Now that's not to say that it doesn't have a few significant limitations. Verdict: Cheap, no-frills business tabletĬlearly, with a bit of effort it's possible to transform the Kindle Fire into a general-purpose Android tablet that can be used for performing many work-related tasks.
The screenshots below show the Kindle Fire graphing a few data points on a remote Windows 7 desktop. LogMeIn's $29 LogMeIn Ignition app lets you access a remote Windows desktop, and even run Windows software remotely. MobileSystems' $15 Office Suite Professional 6 app is capable of reading, editing, and creating Microsoft Office-compatible documents. It automatically syncs these files with your desktop and mobile devices. Google's free Google Docs app reads, edits, and creates Microsoft Office-compatible text, spreadsheet, and presentation documents.
The free aCalendar app (below) syncs well with Google's calendar service and provides convenient day, week, and month views. To check out the modified Kindle Fire's ability to be more than a consumer entertainment platform, I installed some Office-style apps.
