Hollywood Kindle Movie Tablet Release Date

The Kindle for Movies; otherwise known as Amazon’s Hollywood tablet should begin shipping in time for the Christmas gift buying rush.

Historically new Kindle releases are brought to us by the end of the summer.  And, since Jeff Bezos has been suggesting we stay tuned to find out more about Amazon’s move into the mobile computing world, it would make sense that something similar will happen for their master-stroke device.  A 10″ quad-core tablet using the Android Honeycomb operating system could access Amazon’s cloud computing system, as well as be the perfect platform for their video streaming service released earlier this year.

A Kindle Movie Tablet release date of August or September 2011, with a free trial period (at least) of video streaming is definitely on the cards according to Detwiler Fenton.

What is most exciting is news that this high end device will come with a $399 price tag.  This gives it a marked definition compared to the iPad which starts at $499.  A key to the success of an potential tablet PC entering the market today, is that it stands out as something different, rather than simply an Apple copy.

Whilst their expected color Kindle tablet will be an entry level device, focusing more on ebooks and less on multi-media, this 10″ tablet will be the hot contender against the iPad.

With Amazon gradually creating a mobile computing hub with android applications, cloud storage, video and music on demand, they could tempt wary consumers into the tablet market for the first time.

It now seems more likely that the 10″ Hollywood tablet won’t hit the stores until spring 2011. But that isn’t to say we won’t be seeing something new and exciting from Amazon before hand. A seven inch Kindle tablet release is due to be announced on Sept 28th. If sales of that new device do as well as expected, expect a larger model in a few months time.
