Both tablets have the same heart, NVDIA Tegra 2 Dual Core at 1Ghz.
3. OS with Flash 10.2
Motorola XOOM and ASUS EEE Pad both come loaded with Android 3.0 Honeycomb and support Flash 10.2
But Motorola XOOM has already recieved its update to version 3.1
4. Battery Life
Both tablets have the same 24Whr battery. Giving them a long standby life, and a pretty good web-browsing time.
But when it comes to video playback, ASUS EEE Pad outruns Moto XOOM with its less resource hungry IPS Panel.

Conclusion : -
Both the tablets are very impressive, and better than the other available in market.
But out of the two; Motorola XOOM and ASUS EEE Pad according to me, ASUS EEE Pad is the winner with its stylish looks with Dock Keyboard and its Transformer Design.
So my vote is ASUS EEE Pad .

Think your prices are off. The Transformer starts at $400 for the 16GB model (though Target and many retailers on Amazon have marked it up due to the shortages).
There is no 16GB Xoom and the 32GB model starts at $600.

Wrong prices... And Asus Transformer has 3.1 also...
This is spam for another web page.

Spam. Why oh why....it's so obvious.

Put them side to side....transformer screen just blows it away...

wth..
for a moment i thought this would be a good informative thread about performances between the TF and Xoom (both running 3.1)....
not the case. moving along

In the UK, the 16GB Transformer WITH the dock (and hence double the xooms battery life), is the same price as the Xoom. £430.
No contest, I tried both, and the Transformer blows the Xoom away in every single respect. My Transformer (with dock) arrived yesterday.

[Q] Windows on kindle fire?

Is it possible to run windows mobile or windows 8 on the kindle fire?

don't think so - cause of the processor
but a dev might know better ...

The more important question would be why would you want to?

Loo I know what you mean. My cousin actually bought a windows phone back when the HD2 was brand new. As a matter of fact I think it WAS the HD2 he bought.. well anyway he said he didn't like it so he ended installing Android onto the HD2. But just recently he bricked it so now he has the REZOUND.

It might be an interesting change of pace.
As I type from ics

right? i wanted to try it out xD because everything is either running IOS or android and i wana do something new and different xD and screw linux on it too lol it probably wont be able to do much.

I'm not a expert on Windows mobile or 8 but I don't think it will happen. Number one Windows is closed source so it would be hard to modify it to run on the Kindle Fire. And two unless Windows is released on a system that is close to the Kindle Fire then there probably is very limited selection of drivers.

Windows 8 will work on an OMAP 4 4470, but not the OMAP 4 4430 that the Kindle Fire has.

i don't think so
Sent from my Kindle Fire

Something tells me it will be possible, especially if there are any OMAP4 tablets at all, drivers should be similar.
Whether anybody actually goes through the trouble of getting it done and usable is another story altogether. I wonder what the performance would be like...

I totally understand that Win 8 is gonna be pretty much impossible to run on the KF, but would it really be that difficult to have the windows mobile OS on there? I feel like the kindle should have more than enough power to run it. Then again I'm still a young budding dev so you all tell me

rege420,
I must say, you gave us the challenge of a lifetime, We tried it today and it is not possible. The main package that needs to be modified is the framework-res-apk which can be found in /system/app, this file is owned by Root and has the Rights of Read Only when you are not at Root. Once you drop to Root, there is a hack that makes the lower and upper bars Transparent but is is a serious hack and requires knowledge on repacking and signing apk's, so for this reason we do not post a How To on this hack.
I will keep it in the back of our minds if we come up with a viable solution, we will get back to you rege420.

It's a shame, I installed Swift Tablet Keyboard & liked the look of it over stock but it was pretty annoying to have half the last section of keys cut off by the side bar, worked fine in portrait though.

This is why we love to Root the Kindle. Given time, we will make the Keyboard work, we just need more time to come up with a script that safely tackles the Framework. We'll get-er done over time.

That's good to hear I love my kindle but I hate the restrictions amazon put on it. For 400$ I should be able to do whatever I want on it

rege420,
Yes, I completely agree. I have never quite understood Amazon's marketing, it just does not make sense. In the end they loose, not us, since we the developers will always find a way around locked down devices. Sony is an excelent idea of a company who embraced the open source market and for this reason, the are very well respected in the development community. If Amazon would open the door a bit, they would inevitably sell more devices.

Yea why sell such a great piece of hardware and then lock it up like fort Knox. Its probably the best made tablet out at the moment and you can't do anything with it. I don't get their angle

You and I totally agree on this point. The Kindle Fire series of Tablets are a beautiful piece of hardware. They are packed with solid features and they have a fine Motherboard from TI.

Bricked device
I got one of these Fire 6 devices for the missus and it will not power up past the splash screen. No mods of anything else was done to the device, still brand new. The wife used it a few times.
Amazon help pages not helpful
I'm pissed off to say the least.

I was disappointed when I first pulled it out of the package due to its bulkiness and wieght but it kinda grows on you after a bit. It does support otg. Root and the playstore would be a great addition.

Haha I felt the same exact way! It is crazy how fast it grew on me. I really am enjoying this device now that I have sideloaded a thousand apps

Yeah, the design is not very good. Even the 1st gen Kindle Fire felt better in the hands. Still having fun with it anyway! :laugh:

NVM I figured it out doing "adb reboot-bootloader". When in fastboot mode it shows a blank screen with no back-light so that's why I was confused. But still I do not know how to get into fastboot mode with a cable which is crucial for recovery

Kindle fire hd and fire hd the same thing ?
Dumb question, I have been going thru some of the threads. I sometimes see people refer to the kindle fire hd 6 and 7 and sometimes just fire hd 6 and 7.
Are these the same devices? If so it appears that root is close.

AFAIK Amazon removed the Kindle branding on their 2014 tablets hence
Fire = tablets
Kindle = ereader

ok, no root other communit
i posted a question in the google plus community and received this response :
A dumb question, is the fire hd6 the same as kindle firee (kfsowi)?
Sorry for newbiness...
No, it isn't. We provide support only for the KFSOWI model and nothing else.
​
So the amazon fire hd 6 and 7 is different than kindle. Their rooting process doesn't work for fire hd
Also, the fire hdx may be a different beast.

Kindle Fire/Kindle Fire HD/Kindle Fire HDX (2011 - 2013) = rootable
Fire HD/Fire HDX (2014) = not rootable atm

I think they are trying to get away from the Kindle branding. I think of kindle as a e-reader, not a tablet.

I got the Fire HD6 for my daughter... working out nicely so far. But, I just hate the Amazon skin, and I'm looking forward to being able to root it soon and load some plain ole Android OS on there. Then I'll really like the device!

Amazon fire stick or nexus player

Im debating whether to get the fire stick or the nexus player since the nexus dropped to $49
Which one is better. I only plan to use kodi basically

Nexus
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I just went through the same decision myself. Choose the fire stick if you need Amazon Video and willing to work for it, since adding Kodi will be more of a hassle. Choose the Nexus if you don't need Amazon Videos, as I think it should be faster and you can install Kodi direct from the app store and be done in 5 minutes.
Since I already have a Roku, and the Nexus Player is only $10 more than the Amazon stick, I went with the Nexus Player. I already have two, so I know how easy it is to install Kodi in it, and I know it would be a hassle to hack the fire stick to install Kodi (but possible), and I have doubts about the fire stick being as fast. It's also nice to have a remote with voice input when you're browsing YouTube. And Android TV is nice to have if you have a newish HDHR device. The only thing the stick has going for it is Amazon Video and $10 savings (if you buy the old model).

Fire TV Stick:
*Mouse Toggle* - HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you sideload any apps that needs a mouse/keyboard.
HBO Go
Disney
ESPN
FOX

and many many more apps than Android TV.
Nexus Player:
Fewer apps but new ones are being added slowly.
missing most of those apps.
Quad Core and 1 GB RAM make it much faster and less annoying to use than the fire tv.
USB OTG
Latest Android Builds and Bug Fixes.
Both can sideload apps and run Kodi

seems like the nexus is the best choice but the only thing is that xfinity tv go doesn't work with the nexus.. I really need that to work

Nexus player and with marshmallow ( releasing very soon) update you can format a hard drive, thumb drive or SD as internal storage! I would recommend a fly mouse remote and flash lollirock 2.1. You can also flash dev preview of marshmallow us it to format your drive then downgrade to lollirock until zulu does the new 6.0 rom, that way you can expand your storage.

After you get your Nexus Player, have a phone call with Amazon Customer Support. You will need to have an actual phone conversation for the best results. It takes some hunting around Amazon's customer support pages to find how to get a call going. But on the call, tell them you have a NP and are upset it has no Amazon Prime app from Amazon for NP. Depending on how much you have spent with Amazon. They will best case give you a free Fire TV Stick or worst case they will probably give you a $5 credit to your account.
Several of us have done that. Some get the free stick if they buy a lot and have Prime, others have received a $5 credit if they have Prime and don't buy much.
