According to information given to CENS.com, Amazon expects to sell 3
million of its Android flavored tablets this fall. Quanta Computer Inc.,
the contract manufacturer putting together Amazon's tablet, has been
told to
keep the assembly line running to
the tune of 800,000 to 1 million units produced each month from August
through October. As a point of reference, consider that Motorola said it
expects to sell
half that amount for
the entire year.
Amazon's tablet is easier to build with
technical specifications not as complex as the competition. This makes
the device
cheaper to produce giving
Amazon an advantage at the retail level. Amazon's plan is to get
its tablet distributed widely and then
sell
apps through the Amazon Appstore. And consumers are ready for a low
priced alternative. A survey showed that 55% of those asked would seriously consider buying
an Amazon branded tablet. 79% said they would buy a tablet for $250 or
less. That percentage drops sharply to 48% when the price goes up to
$300 or less.
