Kind of depends on how closely Amazon wants to mirror Apple . Amazon might want to do an Atouch - a 4" PMP like the Ipod Touch . Samsung is coming out with a 4" PMP based on the Galaxy series this summer. An Amazon branded version of that would fit right in at the $150-250 price point , depending on how much storage it has.

Amazon could then have a 10" "Ipad killer" at the $499 plus category. There is a lot more profit margin in that than the $250 7" category. Plus 10" is a lot better for showcasing Amazon's VOD service offerings.
