Amazon is expected to officially announce their upcoming Android tablet at a press conference event in New York City.

The new Amazon Kindle tablet will likely be shown to the world on Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Amazon traditionally makes big hardware announcements in New York City, and guess where the conference is being held? Yup, the Big Apple.

The upcoming Kindle tablet is expected to be a game changer, as Amazon not only intends to largely undercut the industry leading iPad, but also wrap their e-commerce and Cloud services around the hardware. It’s a force to be reckoned with.
