Amazon became famous for their incredible prices for online shopping and their cheap eReader, the Amazon Kindle. The tablet explosion soon left the Kindle behind as devices started releasing full colored screens, application support, and internet browsing. As tablets became more advanced the Kindle was still using buttons and a keypad for navigation. Amazon has been secretly planning an Android powered tablet to be released in 2011, but the details and specifications behind them have been kept secret. A Silicon Valley Analyst says he has insider information, but it is still limited. He says that the planned tablet will be all touch LCD screen and is planned to be released before the holiday season. It has been rumored that the device will have NVIDIA's new quad-core Tegra SoC graphics. As far as details go there is little known for what Amazon has planned for their new device. The insider analyst also said that Amazon wanted to use a more complex screen design that would allow the user to switch from the black and white ink screen to the LCD screen when wanting to. The eReader ink screens allow longer battery usage before needing a charge and are easier on your eyes for reading books, magazines, and newspaper articles. LCD screens are better for browsing media, using applications, and surfing the internet, but the battery drains much faster and causes your eyes to strain from the illuminated display. Unfortunately the vendors that Amazon uses for their displays won't be ready for the hybrid screen until 2012 or even 2013.
