Finally, there’s a 7″ LCD screen rated at 1024×600. I’ll have to make a recording in the future. There’s a microphone on here but beyond shouting at the google voice system to all of the things you’re never supposed to search for online I’m not entirely sure how good the quality of the microphone is. Bluetooth works as we were cable to connect the Ouya controller to this unit with some alterations (which will be explained later in this article). Wireless works on it even though it’s a standard wireless G and does not do any of the 5.0ghz range (Let’s remind everyone the price of this thing and suddenly 5.0 GHz is not that big of a deal!). It also came with a USB cable and 1amp 5vdc power supply. The ones at best buy came in blue however if you want a different color you can visit Amazon and order one from there. We picked up this unit from Best Buy for the special promotion of only $39 bucks. I shall post links and whatever additional notes I find out this unit during the week of me playing around with it. I’m not going to make a guide about how to hack it as I feel there are guys out there who are generations better at explaining this than myself. I should note that this is just a blog entry of my experiences with the unit. Of course with ad-revenue governing over the unit it makes sense for Amazon to literally sell you a unit like this at wholesale not expecting guys like me to come along, completely disable the ads, and better yet, eject the OS and replace it with CyanogenMod 12.1 because why the hell not! At the time of this posting this tablet for $39 which for a quad-core 7″ tablet is not bad at all. I have to say the Kindle Fire 7″ (5th generation) tablet is kind of awesome once you scrub all of the ads and the Amazon itself out of it! Don’t get me wrong the Amazon store for android apps is always an impressive thing to have on your unit but when those very apps start bombarding you with ads for non-prime customers is the line that gets drawn in the sand for me. Kindle Fire 7″ 5th gen tablet is kind of awesome.
