Amazon made a bold foray into the high end tablet market on Thursday, September 6, 2012 with the launch of its Kindle Fire HD Family of three tablets.
The Kindle Fire HD Family comprises:
7-Inch Kindle Fire HD
8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD
LTE 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD
All three run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and feature Wi-Fi, Front-facing HD cameras, and Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Digital Plus audio.
Amazon claims that the Wi-Fi technology featured on the tablets - dual antenna, dual-band, and MIMO - gives 40% faster downloads and streaming compared to the next fastest tablet (Apple iPad).
The tablets come with Amazon-exclusive applications such as X-Ray for Movies, X-Ray for Textbooks, Immersion Reading, Whispersync for Voice, Whispersync for Games, and Kindle FreeTime.
X-Ray for Movies enables users to easily find information on actors and movies through IMDB.
Kindle Free Time lets you set time limits for when your kids are using the tablet.

7-Inch Kindle Fire HD

The $199 7-Inch Kindle Fire HD features a 1,280 x 800 display, dual-core 1.2GHz TI OMAP4 4460 processor and 16GB storage. It measures 193 x 137 x 10.3mm and weighs 395 gms.
The slate is claimed to have a battery life of 11 hours.

8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD

The $299 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD features a 1920x1200 HD display with 254 ppi, dual-core 1.5GHz TI OMAP4 4470 processor, 16GB storage and a front facing camera. Measuring 240 x 160 x 8.8mm, it weighs 567 gms.

LTE 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD

The $499 LTE 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD has the same specs as the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD but features 32 GB of storage, plus ultra-fast 4G LTE wireless powered by the latest generation 4G chipset. It comes bundled with a $49.99 one year 4G LTE data package.
The data package provides a bandwidth of 250MB per month, 20GB of cloud storage, and a $10 Amazon credit for only $50 a year.
Amazon is also introducing an all-new upgraded version of the best-selling standard definition Kindle Fire with a faster processor, twice the memory and longer battery life, and perhaps most important of all a reduced price of $159.
Amazon's new Kindle Fire tablets range will be ad supported, users will get to see special offers on their lock screens.
It's not clear if users will have an option to rid themselves of the ad by paying an additional one time charge.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
