2012: Amazon to launch 10.1 and 7 inch new tablets.

According to Digitimes, Amazon will ship a 10.1 inch in July. This news comes from the supply chain, like HannsTouch who is a new supplier of touch sensors in addition to Wintek and TPK Holding, while excluding J Touch from the supplier list.

The 10.1-inch model is likely to be priced at US$249-299.

Amazon is quoting two 7 inch models, one to be priced $199 for shipments in late Q2 and the other $169 which is not so sure to get out to reality, because the suppliers are reluctant to offer quotes for low-margin hardware products.

2012 Amazon tablets PC sales forecast target is 20 million units.
