Amazon set to sell 3 million tablets this fall?
According to CENS.com, Amazon expects to sell three million of its Android tablets this fall. Quanta Computer Inc., the contract manufacturer putting together Amazon's tablet, has been told to keep the assembly line running to the tune of 800,000 to one million units produced each month from August through October. As a point of reference, consider that Motorola said it expects to sell half that amount for the entire year.
