Why I think Amazon will come out with a color Kindle/tablet this year:
- Nook Color has been successful
- ipad has been HUGELY successful and I think Amazon would love a chunk of that
- There is the issue of the Kindle app and in-store purchases: Apple plans to take a cut of any ebook sales on the Kindle app on ipad. Not sure how this is going to play out but wouldn't Amazon rather get those eyeballs directly on their OWN devices?
- Wasn't there talk of Amazon starting an app store?
- Amazon is going big in video. See: free streaming videos for Amazon prime users (this is happening now). Wouldn't it be great to have a tablet that seemlessly plays all those free streaming videos?
