Amazon tablet rumors flare on leaked supplier parts list

Last time on Days of our Rumored Amazon Tablets’ Lives: Bezos teased us with a “stay tuned” cliffhanger, but shook his head on the notion of a colour E Ink Kindle this year. While DigiTimes spilled its cup of beans in regards to the devices’ possible use of Fringe Field Switching displays and fabrication by Quanta Computer, the Wall Street Journal threw its two cents in with a report pegging a few new Kindles for Q3. Now loose-lipped sources are feeding the DigiTimes hearsay flames with a leaked supplier parts list that has Wintek, J Touch and CPT providing touch panels with NVIDIA processors on the tabs’ cores. The Seattle-based company also purportedly plans to ship four million of those 7- and 10-inch slates by 2011′s end. So, what to believe? We’ll discover in due time, but with all this gossipy buzz you could place your bets on something.
