Amazon Announces Press Conference

Amazon company has called a press conference next Wednesday in New York and holds its new Kindle unveilings in the Big Apple. This year may just include the fabled Amazon tablet and Amazon is said to be targeting a $250 price point for the device, half that of Apple’s entry-level iPad…………………

 

Amazon’s been cooking something in a supposed Android-based oven for quite some rumored time and the company’s press conference set for September 28th. Aside from a mention of the time and date, it offers little else to chew on and that hasn’t stopped speculation from running wild and the potential unveiling of their new tablet is on everyone’s mind. It may not necessarily be their much-vaunted Android tablet and the press conference could be used to announce any number of things from a new version of the Kindle to a national rollout of their 7-11 delivery lockers. The announcement of a tablet couldn’t come at more perfect time for Amazon: news of Barnes and Noble’s new complement of Nook Color tablets has just begun to surface and their 3rd generation Kindles can’t stack up to shiny new hardware when the holiday season rolls around. Recent reports from Gartner also indicate that if uncontested, the iPad will rule the tablet roost for the next few years. The timing and the landscape seem ready for a tablet contender with Amazon’s full weight thrown behind it. A 7-inch WiFi model is slated to sell for $250 and it’s going to run a very-Amazon centric fork of Android.

 

Thanks
