Next Kindle Fire

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.

Dual boot possible?

So, it looks as if an 8.9 will be in my possession soon. Has anyone considered the possibility of a dual-boot option for it like there is for the 1st gen fire?

Chipset in new kindle fire HD?

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.

Fire HD 2013 Internals are the same?

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.

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.
