Amazon seems to really want to compete with Apple. After planning to develop its 10-inch tablet, Amazon will also renew its 7-inch tablet. Amazon Kindle Fire is going to launch two models at once in mid 2012.
For these new tablets, as reported by Digitimes, Amazon is likely going to use touch screen panel made by Wintek and TPK Holdings. The production process will be entrusted to Quanta Computer and Foxconn Electronics. The latter also manufactures Apple's iPad, located in China. While Quanta Computer is the manufacturer of the current Kindle Fire, and also Barner & Noble's Nook tablet.
The current Amazon Kindle Fire tablet has been sold successfully in the market. Some observers agreed that Kindle Fire would be a direct competitor to Apple's iPad. Moreover, Amazon's success also viewed, by some observers, as a great temptation for apple to create a similar sized iPad, but slightly larger with 7.85-inch screen size.
Amazon's strength as the biggest online store site will be a competitive advantage in promoting and marketing its tablet compared to Apple's iPad.
