Quad-core processors are going to be all the rage next year. Expect to see all kinds of spec sheets touting Tegra 3 at every possible opportunity.

Bezos also said he “shouldn’t answer” in regards to some other kind of relatable product. To me, those quotes suggest that Bezos can’t wait to formally introduce the Amazon tablet. If leaks continue to emerge, the thunder may get taken from him.
