Amazon has yet to announce specifics on its 7-inch tablet which some hope would compete with the iPad, but early leaked details suggest the “Kindle Fire” may be all wet.


The tablet, set to be officially unveiled at 10am Wednesday, offers neither a camera nor 3G connectivity, according to an early Bloomberg report. The $199 device is described as a “souped-up version of the Kindle electronic-book reader” running a version of the Android software.

More details to follow.
