androidauthority: Amazon is rumored to hold a special event on July 31 to unveil the Kindle Fire 2, which will reportedly be also a 7-inch device. Worth noting is that the electronics retailer is said to launch at least one bigger Kindle Fire version this year, a model that would compete directly against the iPad.
Business Insider: The New York Times has finally jumped on the iPad Mini rumor mill with a new report about the size and expected release date sometime of the device. The publication failed to surface any new details about the smaller iPad, except to say that the it may cost "significantly less" than the current $499 iPad. No surprise there.
Cnet: Amazon shook up the tablet scene with the release of the Kindle Fire tablet in 2011. With one of the most popular tablets on the market, rumors are already swirling about Amazon's next move. The release of Google's Nexus 7 tablet at the same price point of the first-generation Kindle Fire has increased the competitive climate; not to mention the seemingly never-ending reign of the Apple iPad as the king of tablets.
AllThingsD - With sales of the first-generation Kindle Fire petering out, Amazon is gearing up to launch its successor, a tablet that seeks to improve on the original while retaining a similar form factor.
