Much ink has been spilled in the rumor mill about a coming Amazonian tablet, and now those rumors look to be confirmed. Amazon is making the last few software tweaks before it goes on sale this November. The tablet is running a heavily skinned version of Android that was developed without any help from the folks in Mountain View. It apparently has a Cover Flow-esque UI, and is deeply integrated with all of Amazon's services (Cloud Player, Instant Video Player, Appstore, and of course the Kindle app). Best of all, it will reportedly cost a scant $250 -- not quite TouchPad territory, but well underneath the iPad's $500 price. Let the next great tablet war begin.

Sounds interesting, I liked amazon as online purchase portal, but I'm now interested how they will strike as a manufacturer! Nice post.

Nice post.
Not bad for $250 at all.
really cool, although I've heard they've taken away the android app store and just keeping their own D:
seems like its fairly priced.
Interesting how a retailer moves into a consumer electronics company so smoothly
looks intersting
