Amazon Fire prepares to heat up the smartphone market
THE FIRE is the first smartphone designed by Amazon, and the only smartphone with the firm’s Dynamic Perspective and Firefly technologies.
Dynamic Perspective uses a combination of four low- power cameras and four infrared LEDs built into the front face of Fire, a dedicated custom processor, real-time algorithms and a graphics rendering engine to allow the phone to respond to the way users hold the Fire handset. With Dynamic Perspective, users can make a series of one-handed gestures to auto- scroll, tilt, and peek in order to control the phone.
Firefly allows the Fire to recognise real-life data, such as web and email addresses,
phone numbers, QR and bar codes, movies, music and products, and capture the written data for use on the phone – for instance by creating a contact or searching online using Amazon’s database.
The handset is constructed from Gorilla Glass 3 for the rear and front, aluminum buttons, stainless steel detailing and a rubber grip. Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Digital Plus virtual surround sound are

The Fire includes an instant support system and the Advanced Streaming and Prediction (ASAP) service, which queues up movies and TV shows for future playback based on users’ preferences.

RAPOO HAS combined an ergonomic full-size laser mouse and an ultra-slim keyboard to offer consumers a two-in-one desktop setup. The 8900p bundle includes Rapoo’s E9270P keyboard, which is made from brushed stainless steel and aluminium, and measures 4mm thick. Illuminated touch-sensitive multimedia keys are integrated along the top of the keyboard. The keyboard was awarded with a 2013 IF Product Design Award. Also included is the Rapoo 7800P wireless mouse, which is designed with an ergonomic form factor and features an adjustable laser sensor with up to 1600 DPI. The sensor resolution can be adjusted between 1600 DPI for maximum speed – and 800 DPI for maximum precision – by the touch of a single button.
Other features include a dedicated zoom button, low- battery indicator and multiple button and scroll-wheel functions, which can be fully customised by the user. The 4D scroll wheel allows users to scroll both horizontally and vertically. The mouse can also last for up to a year on a single set of batteries. Both the mouse and keyboard communicate with the computer using a 5GHz wireless transmission standard, which minimises interference from other wireless devices using WiFi and Bluetooth, as well as offering a range of up to 10m and 360-degree coverage with minimum power usage.
No driver is required to install the set, as the included USB nano receiver features support for Plug and Play compatibility.
