Amazon.com’s Kindle Fire tablet will be arriving on consumers’ doorsteps a day earlier than planned, the company announced Monday, and reviewers have wasted no time sharing their own early thoughts about the new device. Originally planned for shipment on Tuesday to those who preordered it, the 7-inch, Android-powered device began shipping on Monday instead. Amazon’s boasted that demand has been high, which it attributed in part to the item’s price — it sells for $199. The lowest-price Apple iPad 2, by comparison, goes for $499.
OK...so does anyone know if the Amazon Fire has a port where aftermarket companies may make a camera or sim adapter or camera? I have not seen it yet. Would be interesting to know.
