"Amazon has begun testing a redesign of its retail site \u2014 and it could foreshadow the launch of Amazon's own tablet, according to reports. \nThe testing began last week and will continue to be rolled out to additional customers, but a full launch date is unknown, according to the Wall Street Journal. \nThe new design is cleaner and less cluttered, with more white space and a larger search box. Mashable staff with access to the new version noticed that the wish list and shopping cart were easier to get to and more intuitive. Amazon says the redesign will feature apps, digital games, ebooks and MP3s \u2014 all products suited for tablet visitors, according to TechCrunch.\nA tablet-optimized site fits nicely with rumors of Amazon's own Android-powered tablet. In July, we heard speculation that it might be released by October, and before we've even seen specs for the product, others have predicted both the price ($250) and success of Amazon's tablet. \nSuch a low price tag could make it the iPad's top competitor, because the company would profit from sales of goods and services on the device."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
