Amazon Tablet Seems to be on the Way

Many have speculated about whether Amazon might build its own tablet device. DigiTimes reports suggest such a device is on the way.

Taiwan-based notebook maker Quanta Computer reportedly has recently received orders from Amazon to build a tablet.

The device's monthly orders during the peak season are expected to reach about 700,000 to 800,000 units with shipping as soon as the second half of 2011.
