No one’s quite sure what Amazon is up to, but the bets are on the release of two full tablets. It is quite possible we will see the shipping of more than 1 million tablet PC’s from Amazon.com in September, which launches it into first place as the largest supplier of tablets that are not iPads. In addition, Amazon is rumored to be ordering 2 million touch-panel displays between August and September.

HTC EVO View 4G is the 4G version of the recently announced HTC Flyer Tablet which was featured last month during MWC. Sprint announced HTC EVO View 4G same time with the announcement of HTC EVO 3D at the same time.

Still it might not be a good idea for HTC to release such a highly capable tablet with an older version of Android when the market is going to be flooded with Honeycomb tablets at the same time. We can hope that the Sense UI will make up some of the shortcomings of the older OS as HTC has decided to stick with Gingerbread.
The HTC EVO View 4G packs a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon single core processor supported by a sufficient 1 GB of RAM. Gingerbread will run smooth with this system and multitasking should do more than it is used to do. +Continue Reading
