Amazon is planning to introduce a 10-inch tablet to take on the Apple iPad, claims DigiTimes.

The latest market rumors indicate that Amazon is likely to launch a 10.1-inch Kindle Fire in the third quarter, while tentatively suspending the launch of a speculated 8.9-inch model. Amazon apparently plans to simplify its product lineup to focus its competition against Apple's iPad, according to industry sources, who also added that the planned 8.9-inch model was originally to take on Samsung's Galaxy Note tablets.

Notably, Apple is rumored to be introducing a 7-inch tablet this year.

Well at least someone is moving in the RIGHT direction (hint: it's NOT Apple!). This makes perfect sense. Sell a limited function device at a cheaper price to sell your 'media library'. Apple's decision to fracture its market doesn't, however. I don't see why they'd undercut their sales of a market leader with a cheaper/crappier product. At least call it the "iPod Xtreme" or something.
