Dual band wireless (N600), Supports voice search, Arrives preregistered to your Amazon account for simple setup
Voice search only works for Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus & requires app or optional remote, No support for DLNA media servers, No iOS remote app (yet), Popular channels like HBOGo, TED, Picasa and VUDU currently not available
Unobtrusive design, Vastly improved onscreen keyboard, Dedicated Prime Video section, List of apps keeps getting longer
Still no HBO Go, Included remote lacks voice search button, Still some rough edges and inconsistencies in Fire OS

Reasonable pric, Useful features for Amazon Prime subscriber, Good app selection
