Amazon Tablet Sales in Q4 Could Range From 3 to 5 Million

Amazon could sell between 3 to 5 million Android tablets in the fourth quarter of this year with aggressive pricing that is "significantly" below the iPad, according to a Forrester analyst.

iPad sales in the same period are expected to be around 3.3 million.

Amazon tablets, expected to hit the market before the start of the holiday season, will cost "100s less" than the $499, entry level iPad-2, according to the New York Post, with one source pegging the price at $99.

The Amazon device are expected to feature come integrated with Kindle eBook store, Amazon's Cloud Drive service and others.

Apple, which has sold 28.7 million tablets worldwide remains the colossus in the market, but Amazon "can compete on price, content, and commerce," says analyst Sarah Rotman Epps.

"Not only does Amazon have the potential to gain share quickly but its willingness to sell hardware at a loss, as it did with the Kindle, makes Amazon a nasty competitor."

According to BGR, Amazon will introduce two devices within this year - the entry level, dual core Coyote and the high end, quad core Kal-El-powered Hollywood.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
