Amazon Android Tablet mass production started, available later this year

Rumors related to Amazon Tablet has been going around for some time now but finally some clear information has come across. Tech blog Digitimes reported that Taiwan-based Quanta Computer has received order from Amazon for the mass production of Amazon Tablets of around 700,000 and 800,000 units per month during the peak season.

The source revealed that the company plan to ship finished tablets by the second quarter of 2011, so maximum chances are that consumers will be getting their hands on this new tablet by Christmas. It is also reported that one of the key suppliers for the Amazon Kindle – E-Ink Holdings (EIH), is also going to contribute in the production of these tablet by providing the company with touch panels and fringe field switching (FFS) technology.

At the moment, there are no words on its pricing or specs and even there is not a leaked picture, which can at least give any idea of what the device going to look like. Anyhow assuming that it would be an Android tablet chances are that it would be coming with some of the company’s own services like Amazon Appstore, Cloud Drive digital music locker service and the Amazon’s digital music store.
