Here are my wild guesses (more like fantasy):
Amazon tablet will be heavily inclined towards the reader/student market. As it already has kindle for that market, they will also include video capabilities. But they won't like to compromise on the battery life and would like it to be beyond 10 hrs so some fancy display like Mirasol (haven’t heard about that for quite sometime, maybe Amazon has asked for exclusive contract from Qualcomm just like Apple) optimized for videos. As it will be a student centric tablet, it will have some advanced hand writing recognition app with pen interface (just like flyer but much better) for note taking. Kindle app will be exactly as it in the kindle reader with some additional format support for textbooks. As someone already pointed out, it will have media streaming capabilities which will enable users to stream movies and songs across multiple platforms without needed any additional hardware (except HDMI cable maybe). The screen size will not be more than 8” and will have 15 hrs of battery life. I am not sure about gaming as I am not much into it. It will not weight more than 400 grams. How they are going to achieve all this? Don’t ask me; ask those analysts who are predicting sales of 3-5 millions for a product that hasn’t been announced yet.
