Amazon to launch two tablets this year: Report

Most of the other Android tablets haven't done too well in the market, so it will be interesting to see how Amazon challenges the domination of Apple's iPad.

Amazon, the maker of Kindle e-book reader, is all set to come out with two tablet PCs this year, according to a report.

The Amazon tablets are codenamed Coyote and Hollywood. Coyote is expected to be an entry level device; while Hollywood will have a quad core processor that can perform five times faster than Coyote's dual core Tegra 2 chipset.

At a time when other Android tablet manufacturers have not seen substantial success, it remains to be seen how Amazon tablets will perform in the market.
