新华网8月10日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道，Kindle Fire HD是亚马逊面对大多数用户的平板产品。去年它只比二代Kindle Fire贵40美元。现在有报道说，去年的Fire HD就是今年的Fire，这可能让大家觉得很奇怪。

现在已经有关于新版Fire HD配置的报道，但是没有确实的报道说Fire一定会更新。那么为什么不把去年的Fire HD当做今年的Fire来卖呢？现在的情况就是这样。

报道说新版的售价170美元的Fire外观上和去年的Fire HD很像，拥有旧版Fire HD的配置：TI OMAP4 4470处理器和PowerVR SGX544图形处理器。报道还说这款设备会配备1GB内存、安卓4.2.2系统和1280*800的分辨率，跟去年的Fire HD如出一辙。事实上，除了操作系统以外，所有方面都和旧版Fire HD一样。

Report: The Cheap Kindle Fire to Be Replaced by Cheaper Fire HD

The Kindle Fire HD is the Amazon tablet for most people. Last year, it was just $40 more than the improved-but-uh-why-would-you-buy-this-again second gen Kindle Fire 2. BGR has an unconfirmed report, though, that last year's Fire HD is this year's Fire is very confusing for everyone, probably.

There are already reports of the new Fire HD's guts floating around, but there really wasn't a guarantee the Fire would make the cut this year. Why not just stick last year's model into that slot, and sell the new ones? Well, that's what happened. According to the report, the new $170 Fire will be stylistically similar to last year's Fire HD, and have the old Fire HD's guts—TI OMAP4 4470 processor with PowerVR SGX544 graphics. The report also claims it will have 1GB of RAM and run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, with a 1,280 x 800 resolution screen, same as this year's Fire. In fact, aside from the operating system, there is nothing in the report differentiating it from the Fire HD this year.
