Amazon to unleash a triple play of new Kindle Fire tablets

Amazon turns heads with the release of their 3rd generation of Kindle Fire tablets.


 First up we have the return of the Kindle Fire HD 7. This base model is back with the dual core processor and 7 inch screen of it's predecessor, but redesigned with a sleeker, more slim look,  and sporting Amazon's new Fire OS 3.0 Mojito. Android advocates need not worry, Mojito's compatibility with Android, gives Kindle owners the ability to run Android apps in addition to apps exclusive to the Amazon Market. Priced at $169 for the 16 GB, and only $139 for the 8 GB version, Amazon brings the Kindle to a wider audience.


The next step up from the HD 7 places us at the beginning of the HDX line of Kindle Fire tablets. The HDX 7 is available in 4G, or a wifi only version, both of which come equipped with your choice of a 16, 32, or 64 gigabytes of internal storage. Prices for the HDX 7 range from $229, to just over $400 depending on your desired version. No matter which you choose, the HDX 7 showcases a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, 2.2ghz quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, and an Adreno 330 graphics processor. What does all that mean? Basically, this combination of high powered hardware results in a super accelerated tablet experience, fast games, and even faster apps.

We have definitely saved the best for last, as we take a look at the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 tablet. Holding it's own as the leader of the pack, the HDX 8.9 utilizes an unequivocal partnering of processing power, and an impressive 2,560 x 1,600 resolution to unite a snappy response time with a captivating, and crisp picture. The HDX 8.9 is also offered in a 4G, and wifi only model, and just like the HDX 7 you have your choice of hard disks. It differs from is two counterparts not only in screen size, but the 8.9 is the only tablet in the trio to feature an 8 megapixel rear facing camera, in addition to the hd forward facing camera offered in the smaller screen units. The bare bones option retails for a mere $379, and you can expect to pay nearly $600 for a fully loaded 8.9.

All members of the new HDX line are also equipped with the new Mayday button. This new feature enables you to connect with their technical support staff only 15 seconds after the depression of the mayday button. Thus allowing the rapid, and live remote assistance to get you back on track. The three tablets are available now for preorders, but with varying shipping dates. A redesigned Fire HD can be expected as soon as October 2nd. The 4G enabled Kindle Fire HDX 7 will not begin shipping until November 14th while the wifi only version of the HDX 7 will be sent out nearly a full month earlier. The highly sought after HDX 8.9 will be heading for homes by November 7th for the wifi only version, and December 10th for the 4G versions.
Making these a perfect gift idea, just in time for the holidays.
