"  Lighting a fire under iPad: Amazon 'readies launch' of new colour 
Kindle - and it could be the first to make Apple sweat

    New Kindle will be called Fire
    Android tablet will be 'half the price of iPad 2'
    Insiders describe it as 'first credible rival' to Apple 

Amazon is holding a press conference this Wednesday where it's widely 
expected that the media giant will unveil a new colour Kindle that 
puts it on collision course with Apple - a device that could be half 
the price of iPad 2.  Other tech giants from Motorola to Nokia have 
tried the same thing, of course - and crashed and burned.  But Amazon 
is already the world's largest online retailer - and comes armed with 
a one-click ordering system that can deliver entertainment from books 
to films to music with a single button-press. Other iPad rivals may 
simply not have been entertaining enough.  "
