The Google Nexus 7 is going to be the Kindle Fire HD's biggest competitor. The bottom line is this: Amazon's software is somewhat limiting and the interface is entirely Amazon-focused, but you are going to be hard-pressed to find a better 7" tablet for the price. All that while maintaining the same $199 price point. They somehow managed to add a camera, a faster 1.2GHz processor, a much nicer high resolution screen, physical volume buttons, a micro HDMI port, microphone, Bluetooth, double the storage space, and a dual band WiFi antenna. The Kindle Fire HD is almost exactly the same as last year's Kindle Fire from a software standpoint, which is somewhat disappointing since it is so limited and locked-down, but Amazon did a great job of improving the hardware side of things. By default all Kindle Fires now come with advertisements on the lock screen, called Special Offers. The Kindle Fire HD doesn't come with a wall charger, which costs $10 more. Combine that with the complete lack of customizing options and it feels more like it's Amazon's tablet than your own.
