Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos didn't confirm a
Samsung-built tablet today, but he's not saying no -- in fact, the
tell-it-like-it-is founder of the massive e-tailer suggested quite the opposite in an interview with
Consumer Reports. "Stay tuned" was the answer, and then Bezos told the publication that
if such a device were on the way, it would be complementary to Amazon's existing Kindle, as Bezos doesn't want to disturb the market for that "dedicated reading device." If we were to read between the lines -- which is often a bad idea -- we'd say that could pave the way for an Amazon tablet to launch
without a sunlight-readable screen, but it could just be that a tablet would be pricier, while the Kindle could remain relatively cheap. Speaking of E Ink, the CEO said that a color version "is not ready for prime time." As of January,
we'd agree.
Bezos says 'stay tuned' on potential Amazon tablet originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 12 May 2011 14:59:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
