Amazon's Android Tablet Expected This Fall

Posted by timothy on Saturday August 27, 2011 @02:31AM from the all-the-cool-bookstores-have-their-own dept.

According to the New York Post — among many others — Amazon is expected to launch its long-anticipated color tablet in late September or October, and the device is slated to sell for 'hundreds less' than the iPad, which implies a price of $300 or less. MSNBC says much the same, but adds some (their words) "generic looking mockups" to illustrate. I expect millions of Kindle owners will happily skip the added weight and shorter battery life of a full-fledged tablet, but it's good to have options.

It really doesn't matter if the tablet is any good or Not. In fact it could be a total piece of crap and the millions of hipster Amazon disciples will empty their wallets for it.

  No no, you must be confused, Amazon is making this tablet, not Apple.
