Three Kindle Fire Tablets from Amazon are great competitors to the Apple iPad. Time for Christmas, the online retailer wants to sell revised models.

Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and HD in the 8.9 versions in 2012.

The U.S. blog BoyGeniusReport (BGR) reported that Amazon updated its Kindle Fire three models and will make them in time for Christmas in the trade. The screen sizes are to remain unchanged, but all tablets receive a higher resolution. At the entry level of the seven-inch Kindle Fire they will therefore rise of 1024×600 pixels on HD-ready 1280×800 pixels. The Kindle Fire was going to be HD for Kindle Fire Full HD, as its seven-inch touch screen instead of 1280×800 pixels in future should have 1920×1200 pixels. At the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD 8.9, the increased resolution of the rumored 1920×1200 pixels at 2560×1600 pixels. This would give the tablet more pixels than Apple’s iPad, with its Retina display.

New design for Kindle Fire

In addition, BGR claims to have learned that Amazon plans major changes to the design of its tablets. Instead of the large rounded the corners should be much edgier and bring the tablets less overall weight on the scale. The power button and the volume controls migrate from the long or the short side. Of course, all of them should be lighter than their predecessors, the new models.
Details on the technical equipment to changes in the adapted version of Android or the price was not mentioned so far BGR. Amazon’s goal should be but to reduce the current rates or to have at least the same. Both hardware and software you may also expect small improvements. The introduction of the new Kindle Fire device is to be the grapevine in the fall, perhaps even as early as September.
