NEW YORK - After bringing up iPad Amazon Kindle, Jeff Bezos giant may switch to direct challenge. According to Forrester Research, in fact, the Seattle company could decide to launch its Android or Linux-based tablet. The company has the capital and the audience to compete against Apple (also Google), dominates the market for e-book reader Kindle and its going very well (according to IDC, sales doubled quarter over quarter, reaching 12.8 million of units).
He has also just launched Amazon Prime and movies streaming over 5,000 movies and TV shows, priced at $ 79 per year at no additional cost. And for some time a rumor that it will launch its own app store for Android alternative to Google, from which you can download applications even before you have an Android device on which to run them.
So, in addition to providing a device, Amazon is an e-commerce content platform, which has all the cards in order to counter the rise of Apple not only in the electronic publishing (the risk increases with iBooks that Apple could become the first party to come between publishers and users), but also on the ground of cost, as gain from the sales of e-books and other services.
And only those who can make a real "price war" will be the real competitor to Apple in Cupertino.
