It’s raining tablet news today. First the mini iPad news coming in October followed by ICS update for all Samsung tablets and now as per some online reports, Amazon will be launching its Kindle Fire 2 as soon as this month. A fresh report from the Unwired View, who has taken information from China Times suggests that the tablet will be unveiled either this month or August. 
The report reads: “According to the Chinese paper, Amazon has already ordered 2 million 7-inch Kindle Fire 2s from Quanta, for early August delivery. Which sounds about right for the rumoured new Kindle Fire announcement on 31 July. The new 7-inch Kindle Fire will have a metal frame, the rest of the chassis in plastic, with displays coming from LG and touch panels supplied by TPK.”
Based on reports featured so far, it is believed that Kindle Fire 2 will have better integrated lighting and more hardware improvements. There are also reports that this new version will suspend the launch of the 8.9-inch tablet. The original Kindle Fire was being touted as the 'iPad Killer', primarily because of its attractive price tag. Moreover, reports suggest that Amazon may also announce Kindle Touch, which will be at a lower price point. This will phase out the tablets that are ‘low budget but non-performing’. Let’s wait and watch!
