We've pretty much accepted that Amazon will release a proper Android tablet in 2011. The details, however, are still unclear. Enter Silicon Valley analyst, Tim Bajarin, who claims to have some inside information from his sources in Taipei. If correct, then we should see Amazon launch a 10-inch LCD tablet before the holidays. He's also heard of a
7-inch model and plans to use NVIDIA's new
quad-core Tegra SoC in order to blaze a path into the crowded tablet market. Interestingly enough, Tim's sources say that Amazon wanted to use a switchable "black and white E Ink-like display and a color LCD" hybrid but the two vendors approached (
Qualcomm and
Pixel Qi?) won't be ready with a suitable display until 2012 or 2013. Of course, Samsung -- the rumored
DNA at the core of Amazon's tablet -- has plenty of experience with 10- and 7-inch Android tablets and the decision to go LCD
aligns with those rumors of a
Fringe Field Switching display reported by
DigiTimes earlier this month. So while none of this is verified, at least it gives us something more to chew on while we "
stay tuned" for whatever Bezos is cooking.
