I got one of these for my wife for Christmas and I know last year it was using the OMAP 4470, this years model only kind of specs I can find state "a faster 1.5ghz dual-core". So what is it? Surely it can't be an OMAP, TI exited the market a year ago! It doesn't matter much I'm just curious.

Well, is it a Kindle Fire 2 or a Kindle Fire HD 7 or 8.9? Does it have a front facing camera? Go into about device and look here to see which Kindle firmware you're using http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200529680 The reason I ask is this is the KF2 area and you stated new Kindle Fire Hd and so first need to get that straitened out.

OK, you have a Kindle Fire HD 7 2013 (KFSOWI) 11.x.x.x it will root using the files located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544736 It does have a dual core TI OMAP4 4470 HS 1.5 GHz chip set. At least that's what Amazon says although I have not dug into one personally yet. https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/specifications.html third one to the right.

Now I know this has nothing to do with the epic specifically so I'm sorry if I shouldn't post this here but I seen other posts about ppl asking about what phones they should get so this is similar? Just I don't wanna phone I want a tablet or something. I'm not looking for something really big but even if it was like the 10.1'' tablet that's still an option
I want something I can have fun with and root and mess with that's not a phone I don't want it to b something I pay for monthly but I want it to have wifi
Anyone know any android device similar to that..? That's not too expensive

Well technically 2 ereaders and a webOS tablet. But all can run android and have a dual core chipset making them able to run with the big dogs that cost twice as much. At this time in the day I think I'm going to get the nook 2

Anyone else really excited for the new Kindle Fire, no I don't want one but what I do want is for it to be ICS or JB so that you can extract the amazon instant video app to put on other phones/tablets
Not excited for it. Still would rather buy the nexus tablet. I plan on selling my nook tablet and getting it in next few weeks.

I am selling my iPad that I regret buying. I want something else. I'm between the kindle fire HD 8.9 and the galaxy tab 2 10.1 are there good reasons to get this over the galaxy? I see the specs difference. But I'm still undecided. And help would be appreciated.
Edit: I posted in the wrong thread. I didn't realize this was the first generation.

Gtab2 for sure lots of development, easy to root the HD will be a hassle from beginning to end spend a little more get a little more. I love my first gen. kindle but I`m am unimpressed with amazons second gen devices and locked bootloaders. I love my Gtab2 more than I think I could for Amazons new ways.
no doubt in the word the gtab
it has a great stock interface if you don't want to root it and its easily rootable as well as easy to flash roms etc...
Thanks for the replies.

I just purchased the Fire 8.9 HD, but I did it for my young kids. Kindle Free Time is a terrific program for kids and a dream come true for parents. If you're buying a device for yourself, go with the Samsung. The fire uses a proprietary skin over Android which really hampers the device as an Android tablet. Even so, there are still legitimate reasons to buy the fire.
Cheers...

If I could have afforded a nexus 10 or note I would have gotten one of those. I got a factory refurbished gtab for 290.

I have been told that the new 2013 fire HD, no camera, has the same internals as the 2012 8.9" HD. If so, wouldn't the same boot loader unlocking exploit work? They both have omap 4470's, and the same bootloader/xloader stuff.
Sent from my 2013 Kindle Fire HD
The bootloader is device specific, and since the hardware is a bit different it would just hard brick it. One thing I can think of that's different that might make a difference is the partition layout is different.

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anybody could shed some light on the difference between this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-Google...e=UTF8&qid=1404523556&sr=8-2&keywords=Nexus+7
and
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Nexu...e=UTF8&qid=1404523556&sr=8-4&keywords=Nexus+7
I'm wanting to buy one soon, the second one states FHD 2nd gen newest model

Are you sure this is the only difference? I did spot that it was just that the title of the item in the second link is FHD 2nd gen?

It is a little misleading though. The first link states that the nexus 7 is the first 7" tablet with a quad core processor, while the second link specifically states 2nd generation. I'd do a little more research, maybe even email the seller? I would want to be 100% positive on what I was buying!

The weight on "2nd gen FHD" is listed as 581g where as the first one is listed as 290g?
I'm guessing you both own the nexus 7, could you provide links from where you purchased them so I can compare.

The specs listed in the description of both match 2013 specs. In the 16GB add it looks like the might have got the item weight confused with the shipping weight. You may want to confirm with the seller but I would feel confident getting either if I was looking to buy a Razor.
