как на дрожжах

а вот и еще один игрок на рынке планшетов:

It would be foolish not to include Amazon on the list of potentially huge players in the tablet industry.

While the company is still only selling simple Kindle e-readers, Amazon has quietly built all the tools it needs to compete against Apple and the other tablet makers with its own Android-based tablets.

так и есть, сперва покупки:

<...> Amazon has acquired Touchco, a start-up based in New York that specializes in touch-screen technology <...>.

потом тестовые запуски:

I think this is Amazon’s first step towards launching their own Amazon-branded (or perhaps Kindle-branded) Android devices, where the Amazon Appstore will be preinstalled, and the devices will ship from Amazon with your Amazon credentials already set up on the device (as with the Kindle hardware today). They’re launching now, for existing Android devices, to work out the kinks and build the library of available titles.

и постепенно настоящая цель становится видна все отчетливее — что ж, оно и верно, продавать медийный контент Amazon уж точно умеет.
