Given the success of Android in the smartphone market, we were surprised, frankly, not one of tablets powered by Google OS was able to iPad do so much as a flinch; iPad continues its dominance in the Tablet, as surely as if it were the only option available.

But this won't be last. Eventually, emerges a viable competitor.   So, Amazon may be the company to finally offer an acceptable alternative, at least for consumers, for the Apple iPad?

For months there have been rumblings that the reseller, building on its success in the market, would release its own eReader device tablet.  And for different reasons, Amazon just might stand the best chance of challenging the iPad.  But what exactly would such a Tablet? It would be characterized by a color eInk touchscreen (unlikely), a hybrid of LCD-eInk (questionable), a new display technologyor simply a touchscreen color LCD as Nook Color and other tablets?  What software would run? How much would it cost?

We do not know the answer to any of these questions, but DigiTimessecond, Amazon has really a tablet in the works and took advantage of Quanta Computer to begin mass producing the device in the near future.

While Amazon will introduce its tablet OS, we doubt this very much.  It is much more likely that I will adapt the existing operating system like Android, tablet.  And it is a fait accompli that one of the main points of sale of such a device would be its tight integration with the Kindle eBook store, Amazon mp3and Amazon Instant Video.

As we have said many, many times, in order to compete effectively with the iPad, the Tablet must better alternatives on multiple fronts – especially for the price-and will need to provide a user experience second to none.  Motorola, Samsung, RIM and other hardware manufacturers that have gone after iPad have not managed to outdo Apple tablet, which has preserved their anemic sales, even in front of the Tablet's meteoric rise.  It seems unlikely that Amazon would make the same mistakes if have decided through their hat in the ring.

You'll be hearing more about this year.  Bet on it.
