On Wednesday at 10am EDT, Amazon will be holding a press event in New York City in which it is widely expected to introduce its own Android tablet. The move will mark a big departure for the online retailer, which has been using a custom version of Linux to power its eInk-based Kindle devices. There's a chance that Amazon will retain its focus on reading and release a device that's similar to Barnes & Noble's Nook, but most are expecting that the company will be producing a general purpose tablet, much like Apple's iPad.

We'll be on hand for the introduction and to give you a live play-by-play of the new product's introduction.
