Amazon Tablet Might Only Be Equipped With Two-Finger Touchscreen

Tweet

A vendor report published on Digitimes earlier suggests that Amazon’s much-awaited tablet could employ a two-finger touchscreen solution instead of the usual ten-finger one. Since entry-level smartphones and tablets in China and other emerging markets usually adopt the two-finger solution too, this could mean Amazon’s going for competitive pricing right off the bat.

Amazon is yet to confirm anything about this, but if it’s true, then the company might be going for a different market and audience than the more expensive tablets altogether. Assuming Honeycomb is Amazon’s OS of preference, maybe reports about the company looking to sell 4 million units within 4 months aren’t impossible after all. Let’s just hope Amazon gets enough parts from suppliers so we can see this tablet soon.

Some sources say we’ll be seeing the Amazon tablet as soon as October this year, which goes with earlier reports that the company plans make bank on the tablet this Christmas season.
