Up Next: Amazon’s long-rumored Tablet is (supposedly) set to debut. Towards that end; the company has a couple of distinct advantages (unlike the majority of their competition) in and as far as: 1) their distribution channel, and: two) the content that they’re able to provide therein. Conversely, the biggest variables for the company to contend with are / will be: a) features / functionality, and: b) the availability of third-party applications.
All told, this pending launch is akin to the digital locker (e.g., cloud-storage) that they launched last year. In other words… the company is not going to back down from any challenge (most notably regarding Apple) which should ultimately benefit both consumers and (let’s hope) product innovation.
