Amazon will reportedly release a tablet to rival the iPad by August/September, according to DigiTimes.
The company is targeting global sales of four million units for 2011 and has timed the tablet's release to coincide with the peak sales period prior to Thanksgiving, said DigiTime's sources.
Amazon adopts processors developed by Texas Instruments, with Taiwan-based Wintek to supply touch panels, ILI Technology to supply LCD driver ICs and Quanta Computer responsible for assembly, the sources indicated. Monthly shipments are expected to be 700,000-800,000 units.
The site also notes that Amazon will provide streaming movie services for users of its tablet. It's a safe assumption that the Amazon tablet would also feature its recently launched Cloud Drive and Cloud Player.
