It does have a camera, but it's rear facing, so ideal for Skype, but useless as a camera.
The 2012 Kindle Fire HD has a front facing camera, the 2013 model (3rd gen) doesn't. You have to go up to the HDX models for cameras, as mentioned in post #15.

More likely front facing
Depends on your point of view

I've had a memo pad for the last 2 months now. Very pleased with it.

One more question: earphones. I see they do Hudl earphones. Are these necessary or will any earphones work?? Daughter really wants earphones and since she listens to 1 bloody D incessantly I'm completely with her on that. Trouble is they are out of stock. Surely regular earphones will do rightly?
Yep, that's right. It's a standard 3.5mm audio connection so any ear or headphones will be fine. The extras sold by Tesco are a little pricey if you're prepared to look for alternatives on Ebay etc.

If you want to hook the Hudl up to a TV, you'll need an HDMI cable with a micro-hdmi connector on one end that plugs into the Hudl. Don't mistake that with mini-hdmi, which is slightly larger. You can get a normal HDMI cable and then look for an HDMI to micro-hdmi adaptor to slot onto the end of it. Then all you do is plug your Hudl into a spare HDMI port on your TV, change to that HDMI channel and whatever's on your Hudl will be on your TV screen.

Great for if you're using Blinkbox or other video content providers.

I know this is probably pretty standard stuff but I was

That's fantastic. I'm completely useless with these things so that's really helpful - thank you. Can't wait till they're up and running on xmas day!
