The
8.9-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HDX has started shipping in the UK today
– November 19. The Android-powered slate comes a 2.2GHz processor
and boasts the latest build of Amazon’s forked Android OS, Fire OS 3.0.
The new
Fire HDX also introduces a bunch of new features such as the Mayday Button,
which connects you to an Amazon help desk via the Fire HDX’s webcam. The idea is
all about customer
service but you just know it’s going to get abused with hilarious Chat
Roulette-style consequences.
Mayday is
available 365 days a year, 24/7 and is absolutely free out of the
box. Other new features
include Kindle FreeTime and expanded X-ray features for films and TV
viewing. The 8.9-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HDX will set you back £329.
Jeff
Bezos, Amazon Founder and CEO.said: "It's been just one year since we
introduced Kindle Fire in the UK, and we are grateful for the overwhelmingly
positive response from customers.”
“The team
is innovating at an unbelievable speed, and we're excited to bring our new
Kindle Fire HDX to the UK.”
