Amazon to launch a Tablet by October End.!

The Amazon's Rumored tablet which will vie with Apple's iPad2 and Sammy's Galaxy Tab 2, among other products is all set for a launch in the month of October according to a report from the Wall Street Journal

The tablet will be one of the three hardware products that are going to come from the Amazon in the upcoming Quarter with which Amazon is all set for a clash in the Tablet Market. 

The other devices are a touch-screen version of the Kindle and an “improved and cheaper adaptation” of the current Kindle, which sells for $139. (Amazon on Wednesday also cut the price of its Kindle 3G, which works off AT&T’s wireless network, from $189 to $139.) Though the report states that the tablet won’t have a camera, no further details were provided.

Such a device might make sense since the market for ereaders seems to be splitting between single-function devices like the Kindle and the iPad. Amazon rival Barnes & Noble is attempting to address both segments of the market with its Nook Color — whose latest iteration includes support for Android 2.2 (Froyo) and Adobe Flash along with an app store with hundreds of apps — and Simple Touch, a $139 device that competes head-to-head with Kindle.
