- Amazon may be selling a tablet computer as early as October, report people familiar with the matter.
- The new tablet is expected to feature a 9-inch screen and run on Android’s operating system (but will reportedly not include a camera). An Amazon-designed second tablet may be available next year.
- Amazon is still expected to introduce two new Kindles in the third quarter.
- With its own online retail operation, Amazon is well positioned to compete with Apple. Moreover, one analyst says Amazon can offer a cheaper alternative and make up the difference with movie, music and book sales.
