The sound: The Kindle Fire HD comes equipped with two speakers as well as Dolby Digital Plus technology. In comparison, Apple’s new iPad will cost you $230 annually for the same amount of wireless data. That nets you 250 megabytes of wireless data a month, 20 gigabytes of cloud storage, and a $10 Amazon credit (gee, thanks!). The data plan: Amazon shocked everyone today with it’s pricing of the Kindle Fire HD’s 4G LTE data: $49.99 for the first year (presumably, you’ll have to sign up for a normal data plan for subsequent years). The OMAP chip also has 40 percent better memory bandwidth. The company says it performs 50 percent more floating point operations per second than the Tegra 3 - 12 billion compared to the Tegra’s 8 billion. The processor: Instead of relying on Nvidia’s Tegra 3, like so many Android tablets this year, Amazon opted for Texas Instruments’ OMAP 4470 processor. The tablet’s screen also features an “Advanced True Wide Polarizing Filter,” which allows it to show the full color spectrum from any angle. (In this case, having a smaller display works in the Kindle Fire HD’s favor.) The screen also sports a pixel density of 254 ppi, only slightly lower than the iPad HD’s 264 ppi display.

That means it can play 1080p HD movies at full resolution. The screen: The Kindle Fire HD features an 8.9-inch IPS display running at a whopping 1,920 by 1,200 resolution. Here are a few of the reasons we’re amped for this new tablet:
More than just a bigger Kindle Fire, which was criticized for its cheap build quality (it was basically a rebadged BlackBerry PlayBook), the $499 Kindle Fire HD appears to be the result of great care from Amazon.
