New Amazon tablet on the horizon - iPad Killer? Perhaps not..

So apparently Amazon is going to release a tablet shortly.  Rumour has it that it may be a bit of a haphazard job merely to get one on the market.  This, in my opinion, is a bit of a poor decision by Amazon. One just has to look at the buzz in the media about an 'iPad killer' to realise that what a company needs to do is release a tablet as good as, but preferably better, than the current iPad for a lower price.

If anyone is in the position to do that right now, it is Amazon. They have shown by their earlier pricing strategy for Kindle that they are prepared to release a product at a low price in order to get a foot in the market. If they sat back an waited a bit and did just that, the word iPad may just be a distant memory in years to come.
