Amazon developed 8.9-inch Kindle Fire of 2012.

Amazon has reported a record number of orders for the Kindle Fire (over 250,000 in less than a week) and already heard rumors about the emergence of a new model of the tablet, this time with a large display of 8.9 inches. According to sources, the new tablet will be delivered to market in the summer of next year.

According, the next Kindle Fire model will be produced again by the Chinese giant Foxconn, which was responsible for the production of the original tablet and the iPad and iPhone. With its new 8.9-inch tablet Amazon, will again be lower than most competitors in the market, but a recent study showed that it is most desirable model after that of Apple. Perhaps in this case size really does not matter much. Moreover, recently implemented Samsung 8.9-inch model in its series Galaxy Tab, and original HP TouchPad also has a smaller-9, 4 inches.
