<p><p>  </p> <p> In about an hour and a half minutes I'll be updating live from Amazon's press event here in Santa Monica, CA, where it's expected the company will show off the next Kindle Fire, a separate tablet, a new Kindle e-reader, and perhaps even an Amazon smartphone. This, of course, takes place about ten months after the release of the original Kindle Fire, so it is about the right time to be hearing about the newest model.</p> <p> As for the phone? Reports from The Verge state that it's coming, but may not make an appearance at the event here today. I'm hopeful it does, mostly because I'd love to see what Amazon is cooking up after I missed checking out their Seattle offices after staying in the city for a week.</p> <p> Not to spur up too many rumors, but considering the massive changes to 7" tablets over the past year, scaling down from thick tablets like the Fire to thin, light devices like the Nexus 7 and a personal favorite, the Samsung Galaxy 7.7 is my biggest concern. Amazon's already had plenty of troublewith the Fire not playing well with Android apps thanks to Amazon's own app marketplace, which severely limits the number of apps available. One of the two saving graces - excellent pricing and Amazon Prime stream - is gone completely. So it should be interesting what the internet retail giant is planning.</p> </p> <div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'> </td><td valign='middle'> </td></tr></table></div><br/><br/>
