Press invites being received from Amazon. Next Kindle or maybe Amazon Phone?

Looks like Amazon is getting ready make a pretty big announcement. They are sending out press invites slated for September 6th at 10:30a.m. No hints as to what the press event could be all about, but there is plenty of speculation and rumor to go around. It begins with the fact that some Android based websites are getting invites. Amazon is pretty good at sending press invites only to press that will be able to distribute the information. If their announcement didn’t have some sort of Android relation then none of us would be getting any.

So where is this going? Well, there are a couple of possibilities. First being the next Kindle Fire device that we have been hearing about for months. One that will be a 10-inch variety. There is also the possibility, although much slimmer, that Amazon could be unveiling a phone.

With hardware manufacturers talking about supply and orders for parts for the next Kindle though, we would have to say a phone is not on the books. At least not yet. We are leaning heavily towards a 10-inch Kindle Fire and possibly a better equipped  7-inch Kindle Fire. The last Kindle Fire 2 rumor we caught had talks of a 1280 x 800 screen, dedicated volume keys and a camera.

Whatever Amazon has planned, they are doing a great job of keeping it tight lipped. We will keep an eye out for leaks between now and then. If nothing surfaces, then we will all just have to be patient and see what happens on the 6th.
