Kindle Fire HDX 8.9
The Kindle Fire HDX was unveiled just a little bit before Apple's big October event, where the new iPad Air was revealed to eager Apple fans.

Now that Apple has officially introduced the fifth-generation iPad, also called the iPad 5 and now given the new name iPad Air, the new tablet will soon come into the marketplace crowded by competitors running Android.

Let's compare the newest offering from Amazon to see how it stacks up against the most popular tablet line in the world.
We'll compare the Google Nexus 10 to the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 - hardware specs like cameras, storage, screen size, resolution, battery life, and others, along with special features (like Mayday), release dates, availability and price.
