According to Digitimes (Taiwanese tech site), Amazon is poised to launch its tablet August-September timeframe and they are calling 4 million units by end of 2011 - to put this in perspective, Apple shipped 7 million iPad units in Q4 last year
I've heard the August/September rumor as well, but I can't imagine it coming so early in the year as we've had zero confirmation or news from Amazon itself. They need to create at least a little hype (although the rumors were enough to get me to collect my monies). I'm planning to get mine first, and later go in on one for my dad for Christmas if it lives up to my expectations. He's been hinting for a few weeks that he wants an iPad, but he really just wants a ten inch reader and an iPad would be overkill for him. I'll probably end up going in on a Kindle DX for him.
My wife is now looking forward to the Amazon tablet, too, because she is ready to take my NookColor away.
