Amazon appears ready to release its new tablet, hailed by some observers as a legitimate threat to Apple's global-leading iPad. Amazon's PR firm sent an invitation to journalists Friday afternoon announcing a press conference in New York City on Sept. 28, when the company is expected to reveal its new consumer tech weapon -- the Kindle tablet. But while the tablet hasn't been revealed publicly yet, it is apparently quite real -- seen by one tech journalist already with other strong hint...
While it has been rumored that Apple may not launch iPad 3 in near future since it is unafraid of any competition, Amazon is holding a press event next week to launch the company's new Android-based Kindle tablet lineup.
The release date of Amazon's expected new Android-based tablet has yet to be defined, but the company has scheduled an event for next week when the device may be unveiled.

One of the first things new Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman ought to do is change the company name, brands expert Clive Chajet told IBTimes.
Dear Meg Whitman:Now that you’ve been installed as Hewlett-Packard’s fifth CEO in six years, you’re going to have to fill some big footprints left by giants like Bill Hewlett, David Packard and John Young.
Hewlett Packard Co. (NYSE:HPQ) named Meg Whitman as president and chief executive officer, while Ray Lane has moved from non-executive chairman to executive chairman of the board.

The only way HTC could topple the dominance of Apple is by slashing the price of the Jetstream.
Hewlett-Packard has announced that Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay, will be the new Chief Executive Officer of the company. She will be the fourth CEO of HP in six years.
Hewlett-Packard will be firing CEO Leo Apotheker and replacing him with Meg Whitman, the company announced Thursday afternoon.
It has been barely a year since HP's last CEO shakeup and already the company is moving in a new direction, dismissing Léo Apotheker and bringing Meg Whitman on board as full time CEO.
Leo Apotheker won’t remain CEO of Hewlett-Packard into a second year. Directors of the world’s biggest computer maker ousted him in favor of the former head of eBay, Meg Whitman, who lacks computer experience.
The week's stock market crash didn’t spare the technology sector, which is often immune from the cycles that beset banking and basic industries. If anything, tech stocks got hammered worse than the market.
The problem for HP and doomed CEO Leo Apotheker runs much deeper than the obvious, including a sagging stock price, TouchPad tablet and WebOS failure, and a damaged brand image. The simple cultprit has been corporate indecisiveness, which has run amok throughout every problem the company has faced. That's why Apotheker is apparently out of a job and Meg Whitman, the former eBay CEO is in. But even that very move smacks of indecisiveness, since Apotheker has only been on the job for one year.
Whitman, who failed to become Republican Governor of California last year after spending tens of millions of dollars in the campaign, is a highly controversial choice to lead the troubled HP.
Hewlett-Packard elected Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay, as CEO
Since mid-February, HP stock has lost more than half its value.
September has proved to be a tough month for technology boards of directors who seem to be foundering, and not leading their companies. The result may be that customers wonder who's designing the products.
Several media reports say that Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) is considering ousting CEO, Leo Apotheker, only 10 months after he officially took the helm on Nov. 1, 2010.
The iPhone 5 hasn't even been announced yet, and already consumers are trading in their phones in preparation. Gazelle.com is reporting a 85 percent increase in iPhone trade-ins over the last few weeks.
During his brief stay at HP, Apotheker decided to dramatically shift the company’s strategy.
The world may know later Wednesday whether or not Leo Apotheker will remain CEO of Hewlett-Packard into his second year. After a year on the job, the HP leader's progress ought to be reviewed. But if a computer-savvy expert who's not been given much of a chance to put a strategy into effect is booted out, where is the HP Way?
