Default Amazon Android Tablet Release Possible as Early as August

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110621PD222.html

"Amazon is poised to step into tablet PCs and will launch models as soon as August-September, with targeted global sales of four million units for 2011, according to Taiwan-based component makers."

Could this be the for Android Tablets what the Motorola Droid was for Android Phones?  Amazon/Verizon Droid/Kindle - all some names with muscle behind them!  We'll have to see.  Now that Honeycomb has been cleaned up a little with Version 3.1 and more and more tablet optimized Android apps are released every day this fall could be a good time for a well respected company to release some good Android tablet hardware!  The info from the source basically says Amazon wants to hit the Christmas season and it will use a TI CPU/GPU instead of the more common Tegra 2.  I think that could be a good thing with rumors suggesting the TI processor has better GPU performance.  It also mentions that Amazon will provide movie streaming services for it.  Are you holding out to buy a tablet until you see what Amazon releases?  What do you think about Amazon getting into the full-featured tablet business?
