The New York Times reckons that Amazon is looking to build other gadgets beyond the Kindle in its "secret labs". According to people with direct knowledge of the company’s plans, Amazon wants to make more devices for consumers that would enable simple purchasing of Amazon content including its digital books, music and movie rentals and purchases.
The people who know of the company’s plans said Lab 126 was fostered inside Amazon with this goal in mind, but until recently the company has focused exclusively on the Kindle e-reading platform. Amazon is known to be working on the next versions of the Kindle, possibly integrating touch screens or even creating a color version of the device.
