I just purchased a Kindle Fire HD to do some testing on a 7" screen. The Fire HD (Android 4.0) does not support Flash, so I assumed it would pick up the HTML5 code. Well I was half right ... it picks up the coding for plugins and hotspots just fine... but the panos themselves are screwed up. It appears that it is pulling the large cube faces, in a zoomed in position, and the cube faces are stacked on top of each other, not aligned. You can see where the edges of 2 cube faces are overlapping and when you "pan" the image the 2 cube faces move in opposite directions.
Any thoughts or suggestions? (Besides return the Kindle Fire HD)
KIndle Fire HD... issues

I can't find the exact topic, but HTML5 support is not enough, you need css3 3d transformation and some devices can't handle that. Sorry I cant give exact information but it happens on more android devices (android is always tricky with their custom builds, provider sauce, flashplayer and browsers)

Hi,
right, sorry, but that means that the browser on this device doesn't support (or doesn't 'correctly' support) the CSS-3D-transforms...

Thanks for the prompt replies...
After reading your replies I found a web-page that has a chart displaying different devices/browsers and their capabilities...
http://mobilehtml5.org/
Looking at the chart it... the Kindle Fire HD uses the "custom" Silk browser... no support for Css-3d... AND you cannot download/install/use the Chrome for Android browser (or any other CSS-3d compliant browser that I could find).
The Fire HD is all wet for my purposes, therefore it goes back today.
Thanks again for your help. -

When looking for a tablet for presenting panos, then the iPad devices are still the best ones. Even the iPad 1 performs better than the most other Android tablets in this case.

I agree. I have the iPad 1 and iPad 2 (skipping the iPad3&4 for now, hearing that the iPad5 will play Flash.... ... just kidding) I just wanted a smaller Android device so that I could test functionality and sizing issues.
Thanks.
