Amazon may be expanding its Kindle Fire line of tablets with a new, low-cost version of the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD, according to a report from TechCrunch. Allegedly, this new Kindle Fire HD will have a TI processor just like its more expensive stablemates, and it will have a 1280 x 800 pixel display like the current 7-inch HD model, which sells for $199. Amazon still offers the older version of the Kindle Fire, which has a lower resolution display, for $159.

It's not clear what will be different with this new lower cost model compared to Amazon's current tablets, or when it will be available for purchase. Amazon did recently announce a price drop on its larger Kindle Fire HD 8.9, slashing the price by up to $100 depending on configuration.
