Taking pride of the success of its 7 inch Kindle Fire,
industry sources have recently reported that there’s a great possibility for
Amazon to release its two new models of Kindle tablets. Not much has been told
about these slates though. From what we have heard, both slates will be offered
for a very affordable cost. Sadly, we are yet to dig for more info since the
specs and features were left untold.
As for the first Amazon Kindle tablet, it will be flaunting a
7 inch display and will also be sold for a price that’s similar to the Kindle
Fire. The said $199 budget-friendly tablet will be eventually be powered by
Android but we don’t know if it’s going to be based on Ice Cream Sandwich,
Gingerbread or Honeycomb. Industry sources further stated that the said slate
will be launched sometime within the second quarter of 2012.
On the other hand, the second slate will be equipped with a
10.1 inch display and will most likely be priced somewhere in between $249 to
$299. There’s no official word as to when this tablet will be released in the market
but it was stated that HannsTouch will be part of the new suppliers that will
be providing the slate’s touch sensors.
Apart from the two new Amazon tablets that will be released
this year, there were also reports stating that Amazon plans to release two
additional tablets. However, the possibility for these slates to be released in
the market remains unclear. Aside from the 8.9 inch Kindle Tablet, a super affordable
7 inch Amazon tablet has recently been leaked. If ever it will be released, its
price will most likely fall under the category of those tablets that you can
buy for less than $170. To be more specific, the said tablet will be offered
for $169.
What do you think? Will these new Amazon tablets be as successful as the Kindle Fire?
