Amazon tablet rumors are flying fast and furious these days. A new reportThursday from Taiwan-based supply chain scoop sniffer DigiTimes may only serve to muddy the waters regarding the online retail giant’s plans to take on Apple’s iPad with a touch screen device of its own before the year is out.
The crux of the DigiTimes report is that Amazon has contracted with Kindle assembler Foxconn to put together 10.1-inch tablets for a release date sometime in 2012, while Quanta Computer is now shipping a 7-inch tablet to the online retailer.
At first blush, the rumored deal with Foxconn on a 10.1-inch tablet for 2012 doesn’t jibe with this week’s report from The Wall Street Journal that Amazon will have a 9-inch device with an outsourced design ready for release before October of this year.
