The Kindle Color?
Something about these guesses ring true for me.

I think Amazon is more creative than to name it the "Kindle [X]," but they may very well do that. It's in their best interest to make the tablet stand apart, imo. They don't need the Kindle brand for recognition. They're Amazon. That's branding enough. Also, Amazon allegedly set up an office building full of Android programmers a while back. Knowing Amazon, they will be putting a lot of polish and effort into their rendition of Android. This device is gonna be all Amazon, and my speculation is that the interface is gonna be impressive as hell. |

Amazon and Google used to be best partners, if not, and I use the term lightly, "friends" in the first portion of the 2000's. Remember every time you typed searched terms in Google, an Amazon ad would show up beside with your searched terms in bold? I believe that there is some animosity between the two, especially when Google developed and promoted Google Books. Therefore, I believe that when there was the release of the Irivier Story HD, the first e-reader with access to Google Books, the line was crossed for Amazon, which would explain why they invested in an App Store and, like you said: "...set up an office building full of Android programmers a while back."

If it's less than a 9-inch device I won't be interested, whatever the price.

Its from bloody war with the beavers. Otters display traditional trophies of their enemies - beaver felt top hats.
Otters: not just as cute and cuddly as they appear. |

Bigger screen = heavier, more uncomfortable to hold, shorter battery charge life. Backlit = shorter battery charge life. For my needs, the Nook/Kindle platform is about perfect for a 2 week vacation away from electrical outlets (I just finished one in Alaska) and being able to safely pack it in carry-on baggage or a backpack within reasonable size and weight restrictions. I used a simple book light for evening reading in the tent. |

I still think that Amazon will offer a 10" tablet, because it wants to promote it's video on demand market ( video is more lucrative a market than ebooks). In terms of gaming, a 10" screen is better too. Gaming is a big part of the tablet app market.
A 10" tablet will not be 250- more like 350-400. |

My crystal ball says
7" Amazon tablet, $249-299 10" Amazon tablet, $449-$599 Both will come with many support perks, freebies, and so forth. "Free" this, "exclusive" that..the devices will be heavily marketed on their benefits and ecosystem. |

Isn't the 10" ASUS Eee PC Transformer under US$400 with pretty good specs and screen? I think it would be nice if Amazon could get into that ballpark.

I also prefer an IPS 16:10 or squarer screen. One part of the iPad I liked was the screen ratio but after playing with some 10.1"/16:10 tablets I found I loved using them. |
