Amazon Plans Bigger Fire Tablet To Match iPad?



The only tablet that's come anywhere near rivalling the iPad is the Amazon Kindle Fire. And, at the moment, it's only available to buy in the US.

It's thought a multi-national roll-out will happen within the next couple of months...and it's also reported that Amazon is planning a bigger device. It's realised that the iPad isn't invincible.

The current Fire has a 7" screen...smaller than the iPad...but China Times in Taiwan is reporting that Amazon is already planning a next-generation device and hints that it could be sporting a 10" screen.  It quotes parts suppliers.

And it makes sense.

Amazon has tested out the water...and has realised it's successfully taken on the mantle of the iPad-killer.

The Fire runs Android OS, but heavily modified by Amazon.

While the others like Blackberry and HP have failed, the Fire might just do it.
