Here are the full specs:

• 7 inch IPS 1024×600 resolution display with 169 PPI
• 7.5″ x 4.7″ x 0.45″ (190 mm x 120 mm x 11.4 mm) at 14.6 ounces (413 grams)
• dual-core processor (we’re hearing it’s of the TI OMAP4 variety)
• 8GB of internal storage
• Up to 8 hours of continuous reading or 7.5 hours of video playback (charges in four hours and can be charged using a USB port on your PC)
• 802.11b/g/n WiFi (no ad-hoc support)
• microUSB 2.o
• 3.5mm headphone jack and top-mounted external speakers

Compared to what us early adapters paid for the Xoom $199 seems like flea market prices

[soops]

what does it means by no ad hoc support?

No ad-hoc support means you can't turn your laptop into a wireless router and connect the Fire to it. People do this when there is no wireless, they can plug their computer via the Ethernet and then make their laptop a wifi hot spot, this would be an ad-hoc network. Android can't do this natively without some tweaking so it is not surprising.

 

[soops]

hmm...thanks for the explanation. i thought it was the other way around, meaning using the device (i.e. kindle) as the router or internet source (wifi) when you have a computer that doesn't have an internet connection.

Got one on pre-order

If it is anywhere close to a NOOKcolor, it will be great. Since I'm already "Prime" , combined with Amazon's cloud-stuff I'm sure it will be a killer.

 

[abel1337]

Im already in for one

 

[JohnDroid]

Can't wait to see these things floating around. Amazon has finally hit the hardware/price sweet spot.

 

[chewy74]

only thing holding me back from getting one is no 3G

im not always able to connect to a wifi network so not having both kinda stinks

 

[en28so]

I'm just waiting for some reviews when it comes out. Then I might get one for the wife since she's not a power user. My 4yr old would love it too. Lol.
