You actually should beware when Engadget’s founder, Peter Rojas speaks in regards to the tech industry. Especially when he leads right into a story like this:
It’s something of an open secret that Amazon is operating on an Android tablet and i’m 99 percent certain they may be having Samsung build one for them.
The GDGT piece goes directly to present an extremely reasoned argument that paints Amazon, not Samsung or the remainder of the ancient consumer electronics industry, as Apple’s chief competition inside the near-term tablet space. A concept that’ll be tough to argue against if Amazon — with its combined music ( downloadable and streaming ), video , book , and app ecosystem — can actually launch a dust-cheap, highly-customized, 7-inch Android tablet this summer as Pete predicts. Oh, and the undeniable fact that Amazon already has our bank card details will definitely make for straightforward adoption.
