Amazon’s Android-Based Kindle Tablets Will Both Be Cheaper Than $499 iPad 2 | Cult of Mac: "They say that no one but Apple can make a decent sub-$500 tablet, but Amazon not only thinks they can undercut the iPad in price once… they think they can do it with two tablet at once.

Following reports last week that Amazon would debut two Android-based Kindle tablets this year, new information has leaked giving the 7-inch “Coyote” tablet and 10-inch “Hollywood” tablet prices: $349 and $449 respectively.

Those prices not only undercut the entry-level iPad by a significant margin, but Amazon’s Kindle tablets will also be competitive in performance. The $349 tablet is rumored to come equipped with an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, which is roughly equivalent to the performance of Apple’s A5, while the $449 model will come with a quad-core Tegra T30 “Kal-El” SoC.
