When Amazon first commenced working on their Kindle Fire they made known that they were working on two Android tablets. The first tablet announced was the Kindle Fire that is popular and widely used at present.The Kindle Fire quickly became one of the most owned and largest player in the Android tablet market. Hastily after its release there was mention of a 10 inch Amazon Kindle Fire but at no time came out.
The 10 inch Kindle Fire is said to run Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad-core processor and was supposed to release in Q1 of this year. With Q1 ending in only a few days we can assume that the date we all hoped for is not right. Amazon and Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos are very good at keeping secrets as we saw with the release of the present Kindle Fire.
While Amazon hasen't referred to anything about the 10 inch Kindle Fire it was expressed by Digitimes that Amazon has purchased a chasis for a new Amazon Tablet from Catcher Technology in Taiwan. Catcher Technology is one of the chasis manufacturers Apple uses for their iPad and was used for the primary Kindle Fire as well. Digitimes announced:
Catcher will supply the chassis to Amazon from its plants in Taizhou, China with estimated gross margin to be more than 40%, the sources noted.
We aren't sure what this means for a fact when it comes to Amazon ordering although its a pretty good indicator that they will be releasing a new tablet very soon. If all goes well and this order is for their 10 inch version of the Kindle Fire we could see them announced by the end of Q2 of this year.
