If one is to believe TechCrunch, the much rumoured Amazon tablet "is very real," bears the name "Amazon Kindle" and is a 7" Android-based device.
We've been hearing Amazon tablet rumours for a while now-- most recently saying the company put orders for touch panel displays for 2 different devices codenamed "Coyote" and "Hollywood."
TechCrunch speaks of a 7" tablet with a capacitative touchscreen (not e-ink) running a custom Android version that "looks nothing like the Android you're used to seeing".
Amazon integrates its services in the devices-- with a Kindle app serving as ebook reader and Amazon Android Appstore handling app store duties (with Android Market "nowhere to be found").
The device itself apprently comes in rubbery black (similar to the PlayBook) and lacks cameras. It will be wifi-only-- at least until launch.
The 7" Amazon tablet should come out soon (in October) with a 10" version following next year.
TechCrunch concludes by saying Amazon is also working on a multi-touch screen/e-ink hybrid device "that's nowhere completion". More news will surely be available, as soon as it leaks out.
