Disquiet on the kindle Fire being deaf

Disquiet points out the fact that the Kindle Fire has no microphone. A good point and a serious drawback for the device from an audio and music perspective. Of course it doesn't have a camera or 3G either, which are also drawbacks, but the lack of audio input is more problematic.

It is somewhat strange that the previous kindle did have a mic and that the fire doesn't.

The first ipad didn't had a camera nor a microphone. It doesn't mean the Fire2 will never have any of those.

@Anon "did you read the article?"

I did read it, did you?

FTA : "The absences also make for a certain amount of planned obsolescence, providing a simple path for Amazon to the Kindle Fire 2.0, which could add one or more of the missing features, much as cameras were added when the iPad 2 was introduced."
