Amazon rumored to have multiple Android devices out by the holidays

Amazon working on a tablet? Made by Quanta with a FFS display? Pff..that’s old news.. how about, Amazon is working on a whole lineup of Android devices? Like that rumor? Brought to you by a man who used to run Androidandme, but comes out of retirement for this special occasion. The main tipster, who has “direct knowledge” of this project says Amazon has an “entire family” of Android devices are expected to launch this holiday shopping season.

That’s apparently confirmed by another trustworthy tipster. So that’s it. Let the speculation fly. Android phone? Set-top box? Multiple tablets. At the very least, one Android tablet.
