.Important update: The Amazon tablet release has begun. Pre-orders can be made today, with deliveries scheduled to begin in mid November, on a first come, first served basis. Check out our color Kindle tablet article to find out all about the new Fire.
Back to the original article:
We should have a firm Kindle tablet release date in the next few days. In late September Amazon are due to hold a press conference in NYC. Since we didn’t get the August release we hoped for, this event would lead us to think that the new Kindle is being officially launched. That means we should see the tablet for real, as well as find out when we can start ordering it!
Back to the original article (which was very wrong!):
An August release date for the Amazon Tablet / Color Kindle looks like a near certainty today. More news from Digitimes confirm that shipments are expected before the end of summer.
Not that we are surprised – after all when is a better time to release the ideal Christmas gift?
The report did bring some surprises though. We had all got used to the idea of a quad core NIVDIA processor, but now it seems the hardware is being designed by Texas Instruments. Even E-ink Holdings look like they’re out of the picture since the new story is that the touch panel is coming from Wintek.
It all seems a little odd that the previous reports were so wide of the mark.
So what will the new Kindle in color, and tablets from Amazon really be like? You can bet we’ll be hearing all about them in the next month prior to a summer release. And, if you want to find out first, subscribe at the right. We’ll be in touch as soon as we have concrete information rather than simply more speculation!
This would be ideal for my wife who @ 72 is not as in control as she was in her youth. The new Tablets should help resolve a lot of issues and allow her to keep doing what she loves the doing best. Read, READ and more READING.
Thanks
