Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9-inch hands-on
Share:
Connectivity for all the Fire HD tablets includes dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi with MIMO (multiple-in/multiple-out) which allow the tablet to optimize its connection to Wi-Fi networks, resulting in faster media streaming. The 8.9 inch Kindle Fire HD has a 4G/LTE option. The 4G/LTE antenna operates across all 10 frequency bands.
The 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD will be available November 20th. For the Wi-Fi only models, pricing starts at very impressive $299 for the 16GB version and $369 for the 32GB model. The 4G/LTE models start at $499 for the 32GB model, and $599 for the 64GB version.

This one does look nice. The 7inch size IMO belongs to the Nexus. I would consider this.

Is it me or does anyone else see it resembling the Motorola Xoom (from behind away)?
Looks as thick as a Xoom as well.
Good price this is what the Xoom should have been priced at earlier and it would have craved a large part of the tablet market for itself.

I've been looking for a tablet to replace my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, which is great but limited by its Tegra 2 chipset. (I don't want a 10" tablet, as I find them too big and heavy for comfort). Unfortunately the Kindle Fire HD is not it! It's over 100g heavier than the Samsung and bigger in every dimension. This is the weight, and almost the size, of a 10" tablet, but with the disadvantage of a smaller screen.
