Quanta receives tablet PC orders from Amazon, say upstream sources
Well as expected a tablet from Amazon


http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110502PD216.html
Taiwan-based notebook maker Quanta Computer has recently received OEM orders from Amazon for its reported tablet PC and the device will also receive full support from Taiwan-based electrophoretic display (EPD) maker E Ink Holdings (EIH) for supplying touch panel as well as providing its Fringe Field Switching (FFS) technology, according to sources from upstream component makers.

Amazon internally plans to reduce Kindle's market price to attract consumer demand from the education and consumer market
I support this. Just wonder what kind of price-point they would be going for.

What is "fringe field switching"? I haven't come across that one before.

To answer my own question, a little research shows that FFS is a technology used to manufacture LCD displays with a wide viewing angle.
