Amazon tablet to be called Kindle Fire?, We told you about the Amazon Kindle Tablet announcement earlier this week, and the big reveal is tomorrow. In the meantime, a few more details on the hotly-anticipated device have been leaked.This 7in tab is set to debut at around half the price of perhaps its biggest rival, the iPad 2. So for your £200-250, you’ll get a heavily modified, custom version of Android 2.1 running on what’s looking to be a sub-1GHz processor, backed by a mere 6GB of storage. Supposedly, there will also be little or nothing in the way of connectivity and hardware controls.

Nothing to set the world on fire, then, which is ironic given that TechCrunch has discovered Amazon’s tablet will likely be called the Kindle Fire. Mind you, there is a certain logical progression to the name what with kindling already provided, so kudos to whichever bright spark thought it up.

What with plenty of established rivals (though admittedly few worth considering at this price point), Amazon might have a hard time getting consumers to warm to its offering, especially in the US where it will face strong competition from Barnes and Nobles’s rumoured Nook 2. However, it does have a lot of brand recognition and a strong established marketplace to make this tablet a potential success. Amazon tablet to be called Kindle Fire?
