Android is planning to release an entire portfolio of Android products, not just one tablet as originally reported. The rumor hasn’t specified whether or not Amazon is planning multiple sized tablets, or a tablet and a new Android-powered eReader, although there’s some speculation that a smartphone could be in the works too.
It’s no secret that the company is working on at least one tablet. Earlier this week Amazon’s CEO, Jeff Bezos, said “stay tuned” for more information on the product, which is rumored to have been manufactured by Samsung and could launch this summer. However, other reports suggest that the devices will land closer to the holiday season.
Either way, it certainly makes sense for at least one Amazon tablet to exist. After all, the company has already launched its Unbox movie and TV streaming service, Amazon’s Cloud Player and Cloud Drive for music and data storage, and Kindle for books, all of which fit perfectly on a tablet.
