So I really don't know what any one really knows abut the 5ghz and 2.4ghz wireless spectrums, but let's see if I can explain very simply and very quickly why the fire should not be on anyone's Christmas list.
Imagine if you will the freeway. Everyone has to drive on it, because it is the Bly way to get from point a to point b. Now imagine a freeway that has been in place for a long time now. It's 3 lanes wide (total in both directions) it's been patched up as much as it can but you can certainly feel the pot holes and where they have been filled over the years. If some jack ass gets in front of you, doing 30 in a 65, you can't pass him even if you are in a Ferrari, or to reference my trip to Los Angeles, a mazzerati. The only way you can pass him is if there is a free lane that you already have permission to be in, and no one else is in those lanes.
That my friends ends you up with road rage, frustration and a car full of people who didn't know your language could be so colorful. Now, imagine a road that is 24 lanes wide. Again they are still for both directions of traffic, but the lanes are smooth as can be. Anyone can travel on his freeway, if they have a car with tires that are rated for the road, and the guy driving 30 can't even access your road because his tires are not good enough,
That is the difference between 2.4ghz (802.11bgn) and 5ghz (802.11an). You will notice that both of these ranges have n in them. That means that 802.11n traffic can exist on both spectrums or freeways. That means you can travel on any highway available, but there are some devices and network cards that are n capable only on the 2.4ghz spectrum. Of you look at the specs for your device make sure you see abgn not just Ben, because that will relegate you to the slower freeways, that are already incredibly congested.
That my friends is why no one should purchase a kindle fire. The price, amazing, the possibility for a huge company like amazon to have apps developed, huge. They even put a dual core processor in the thing, but then they put used tires on it hat will only slow you down for the rest of the time you own that device, when it comes to tablets, you can't change the tires, or even upgrade them. Fr now stick with devices that will run on the 5ghz spectrum, the iPad 2 does, so does the galaxy 2 from Samsung. We need to make sure that the people selling to us understand that we don't want to buy new products every year. This economy just can't support it anymore.
