Rumour mills are on a sprinting high and this time it's the new Kindle Fire tablet making the rounds. Amazon is expected to launch its new 'Hollywood' tablet by the end of 2012. Hitting directly at Apple's iPad and Google's Nexus 7, Amazon is believed to bring a more promising package than its original Kindle Fire launched almost a year ago. As per the reports, the rumoured new model will feature metal chassis with a 25.4-cm (10-inch) colour screen, quad-core processor, front-facing camera, microUSB port and an additional jack that could be an HDMI-out port. Along with it, a new 17.8-cm (7-inch) tablet is also in the pipeline. 
BGR reports that the new models will have better specifications to ponder upon. This time the body of the tablet will be metallic rather than the plastic body sported by the first-gen Kindle Fire. Amazon is expected to revamp the cheap and mediocre look of its original tablet with the upcoming models.
The 25.4-cm (10-inch) Kindle Fire tablet is set to compete with the recently launched Google Nexus 7 tablet, which carries enhanced specs including a 1.2MP camera, at a price similar to the original Kindle Fire tablet, $199. Amazon's upcoming 17.8-cm (7-inch) tablet may also feature a front-facing camera.
Well, all we can say for now is that the upcoming Amazon treat sounds better and more credible than reported earlier but we will have to wait to justify the same.
