If I had to choose between the Fire HD and the Nexus 7, I'd go with the Nexus.

I'm just catching up on comments and what is new and I'm itching to click on something that says "buy now". It doesn't matter which, I just have the itch to click.

They must be waiting for Bezos to write his usual full page speech before putting up the new Kindle and Fire.

It'll do. Besides, that screen! (I had a great dell laptop that ran 1080p on a 17" screen and it was gorgeous. FireHD is 4X that. At 10% of the price.) |

It wasn't mentioned, but perhaps when we see the specs (particularly for 4GLTE model) it will be there. I think there is a map app included and it wouldn't make sense to have one with no GPS or at least aGPS.

Definately pre-ordering a Paper Weight. The 8.9" Fire HD is interesting, but I'm not sure yet.
