Back in October of this year, Amazon announced that the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9? would be available here in the UK in time for Christmas and just a few days ago, in a further announcement we learned that the HDX had commenced shipping.

With the HDX Amazon not only do we get an amazing hi-res IPS display with a staggering 2560 x 1600 resolution but there's also a 2.2GHz Quad-core CPU, 2GB RAM and 16, 32 or 64GB storage.

Dispite the heavyweight specification the Fire HDX is still able to boast its "lightest large-screen tablet" status, the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" is astonishingly light at 374 grams.

In another innovation, the HDX also has a "Mayday button" a revolutionary on-device tech support system which is free, 24/7, 365 days a year.

In the video below I get hands-on and set up my new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9? and have a look around that new Fire OS 3.0 Mojito UI.
