New Things that should excite those who want a Cheaper SHOW

0 Members and 2 Guests are viewing this topic.

Recently, I opened my wife's Amazon Fire HD10 Tablet and it had updated (Auto updates "on")

It stopped me from doing anything until I responded to a new feature that was available on the Tablet. It now has HANDS FREE  "Show Mode" You can switch on and off at will by swiping down the settings menu from the top of the screen.

I already have this one and now having that capability lets me summon the new Ring Doorbell pro on screen pretty quickly from a dormant tablet... Now that was a nice Surprise!

To top that off, I checked the In-Law's Tablets I bought them for readers and they DON'T have the feature... but my 8" one does. (could be they haven't updated their tablets... didn't check their upgrades and settings). So... Now I have 2 extra "SHOWs" without buying any extra equipment! SUPER DEAL!

sounds good, bigger screen and cheaper  :-)   too bad we can't use the show mode on other brand tablets.  I would even pay a bit for the app.

I would too, on my iPad 12.9 pro... That'd be very nice. I'll look into it and see what's available...

By the way, Folks... The "SHOW MODE" feature is on my 8" fire tablet too now... I'll have to look at the 7" ones next...
