Noooooo! It seems that Amazon’s top range 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD isn’t following the rest of the family to the UK.
Mr Bezos took great delight in wowing the LA crowd with his latest flagship device—the Kindle Fire HD 4G, which not only rocks 32GB, but also packs 4G LTE for just 500 dollars (about £320 of our British pounds). The LTE-packing Fire HD also comes with a pretty reasonable $50-a-year (£30) data plan, which permits 250MB of data per month.
While its pretty predictable that the UK wasn’t going to get the 4G version (yet), it’s still a little heart-wrenching to know that our American cousins will be playing with Amazon’s new hotness in November, whilst us Brits must be content poking our puny 7-inch Fire HDs in late-October.
Do they think that those who are after an iPad-sized tablet will be happy with the smaller size? This is frustrating news – it looks like Amazon have ticked lots of boxes with these tablets but if I can’t get the 8.9in one then I most likely won’t bother at all (or might still go Apple) – in which case they’ve lost the ongoing sales of “stuff” which they say is how they intend to make their money.
It’s just about supply once the US demand levels off they will launch to the rest of the world.
You might want to check Amazon because we are getting it.
Major fail Udimion! Try reading the article properly next time! They only have the 7″in the UK.
Oh yeah….sorry, misread the article and Amazon. But at least we get a fire even if they haven’t given us US prime or the bigger device.
