Run Jelly Bean on your original Amazon Kindle Fire
Share:
The ROM brings some great new features like Google Now to your Amazon Kindle Fire, and you will still be able to view hardware-accelerated HD video like YouTube and Netflix. One major downside is the poor battery life that ensues following the installation of the ROM.

Original kindle fire came waaaaaaaay before the nexus 7, that's not what the kindle fire was competing against. In fact, the kindle fire was the first (popular) 7 inch tablet for android, so essentially this started the class of inexpensive 7 inchers. Amazon released the kindle fire HD to compete with the nexus 7, not this

Phonearena, the developer's name is HASHCODE not hashtag. And he is a very well-known developer on xda so you'd better correct the article.
