IT news site Digitimes reports notebook maker Quanta Computer received OEM orders from Amazon for its rumored tablet PC.
The Taiwan-based computer company already has tablet PC OEM connections with RIM and Sony. While the post speculates orders for Amazon’s tablet device will run 700,000 – 800,000 per month, it says Amazon has no plans to drop its popular and industry-leading Kindle E Ink eBook Reader.
An Amazon tablet would simply open the door for the online eBook giant to compete in the multifunction market that Apple iPad is trying to dominate.
