7-Inch Kindle Fire HD Arrives Today

The first model from Amazon’s new family of Kindle Fire tablets arrives today. The $199 16GB model of the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD was passed out to reviewers, not all of whom liked the tablet, last week. And today it’s in the hands of regular consumers. The new device comes with a 1280 x 800 high definition display with a polarizing filter and anti-glare technology, as well as Dolby audio and dual-driver stereo speakers, and dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi which is designed for 40 percent faster downloads and streaming.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos unveiled the new Kindle at a press conference in Los Angeles earlier this month.
