7-inch tablet Amazon Kindle Fire HD in comparison with competitors

The company Amazon, as it is known, has updated its 7-inch tablet Kindle Fire improved performance and reduced costs by 20% while introducing more advanced 7-inch version of the Kindle Fire HD. It is about the latest and greatest decision we'll talk today, because it seems to be making a bet leading online store for the U.S..
7-inch version of the Kindle Fire HD, Amazon calls the most perfect tablet in its class. That's a bold statement, considering the fact that for the same price sold pretty impressive Google Nexus 7. Could the Amazon outperform alternative solutions in the hardware field?
Kindle Fire HD 7" is reminiscent released this year to market offerings from other manufacturers: its thickness is only 8.8 mm, weight - 395 grams. Around the screen you can see the frame of considerable size, because of which the tablet a little wider than the competition, but not enough to not lie down comfortably in the hand. screen resolution is 1280x800, which corresponds to the characteristics of Nexus 7. Amazon, however, argues that using a polarizing filter and reduce glare.
2-core processor TI OMAP 4460 1.2 GHz and graphics from Imagination Technologies in the Kindle Fire HD 7" ensures smooth operation Amazon-version of Android. But performance was not an issue for the Nexus 7 with its Tegra 3 chip, the same applies and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Same can talk about Wi-Fi, although it is quite interesting how support bipolar mode with two Wi-Fi antennas and MIMO in the Kindle can ease everyday life. Amazon says that the rate is 40% higher than any other tablet. However, the 7-inch version of the device with support for 3G/4G absent, in contrast to, for example, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
In one area of ​​Amazon can make wonderful suggestions in relation to competitors shops Kindle Store, Amazon MP3, and Instant Video puts the company in second place after Apple (and, probably, in the first place, if the users are primarily interested in reading). Google is trying to improve the environment Google Play, but still lags behind Amazon. As with the original Kindle Fire, it is a good choice for those who use the tablet primarily for entertainment and content consumption. The company claims to have 22 million proposals in the movies, TV shows, songs, apps, games, books, audio books and magazines.
The main characteristics are presented in a detailed comparison, but it is better to wait with the purchase of a machine - perhaps September 12 Apple actually present cheapening 8-inch device, which can dramatically change the balance of power in the mini-tablet? However, when it comes to the cheapest offer, you can make a choice in favor of a new Kindle Fire for $ 160, which uses a lower resolution screen 1024x600, 2-core processor OMAP4430 @ 1,2 GHz, only 8 GB of flash memory, there are no two Wi-Fi antennas and cameras. It is unlikely at this price in the near future anyone but Amazon will offer more interesting features.
