Amazon CEO says ‘stay tuned’ for Amazon tablet

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said in an interview earlier this week to “stay tuned” for news on the company’s plans to release its own tablet. Bezos wouldn’t come out and confirm the tablet, but he took particular care in clarifying that such a device would not replace its popular line of dedicated Kindle eBook readers. “We will always be very mindful that we will want a dedicated reading device,” Bezos continued. “In terms of any other product introductions, I shouldn’t answer.” It doesn’t take Nostradamus to see where Amazon is headed with all of its recent product and service launches, of course. An Amazon-controlled Android app store, a new streaming movie and TV show service, Cloud Drive, Cloud Player, the Amazon music store, Kindle… it all adds up to a self-contained ecosystem that will allow Amazon to issue a complete package when it finally does release its first tablet.

     If theres anyone who can make a successful tablet like Apple, is Amazon. Just like the Kindle, they can sell a tablet really cheap cause they know you’ll use their services and they will make money off you. It’s perfect, Amazon could seriously become a huge contender. tablet like Apple, is Amazon.

    Unlike Google and Microsoft, Amazon truly is in the best position to challenge Apple.  They have the license agreements to sell movie and music content just like Apple.  They have Kindle app and book content.  They have expertise in building a simple to use ecosystem.  I believe they are already building an Andriod App store.  They have the expertise and resources to pull it off.  They don’t have Microsoft’s level of bureaucracy to slow them down.  This is almost a no brainer

    It is good that Amazon will still keep their kindle,
    considering that this device is the original tablet. Not all people needs and
    wants a tablet. Some people just want an electronic reader like this. I just
    hope the Amazon tablet can offer something new that has never been seen before
    in other tablets.
