Amazon today unveiled a new Kindle Fire lineup, which includes a revamped version of the original tablet, as well as 7-inch and 8.9-inch versions of the new Kindle Fire HD.
Amazon will drop the price of the original Kindle Fire tablet to $159. It will offer a 16GB version of the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD for $199 and a 16GB, 8.9-inch version for $299. But the retailer will also sell a 32GB Kindle Fire HD with 4G LTE connectivity for $499.
The original, 7-inch Kindle Fire received an upgraded processor that is 20 percent faster than its predecessor, as well as double the RAM for 40 percent faster performance and longer battery life, said Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
The $159 tablet will start shipping Sept. 14.
The larger, 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD, meanwhile, boasts a 1,920-by-1,200 IPS display with 254 pixels per inch. There's also an HD front-facing camera, HDMI out, and Bluetooth. It will run a TI OMAP4470 processor. The smaller, 7-inch Kindle Fire HD has similar specs, save for the display size.
