Eager thinkers dream of so many features that an Amazon tablet would have to have to make it a worthy competitor against Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, which are some of the most beloved tablet PCs of the decade. Here are 10 dream features we hope the new device will possess:

1. The tablet must be light. It would be impossible to invent a featherweight tablet, at least in this century. A very light Amazon tablet would be very easy to carry.

2. Apps should load fast. Some tablets may not be able to load heavy apps. Hopefully, Amazon’s new product will be fast and will be able to support many running applications.

3. It would be great if Android runs Amazon’s tablet. Android has proven to be one of the best operating systems out there, probably even surpassing the most expensive system out there. Having Amazon’s tablet running Android’s honeycomb operating system would be a great feature.

4. Affordability is always a serious consideration, especially among the budget conscious. An affordable tablet from Amazon would surely attract a lot of people’s attention. Affordability coupled with a high performance system will make this tablet a sure winner.

5. An Amazon tablet with a glare-proof screen will be another powerful feature. Some tablets, when exposed to light, reflect so much light that it is difficult for the reader to see and read what is on the screen. A glare-proof screen would definitely improve and optimize the user’s reading experience.

6. Besides a glare-proof screen, a wide and smooth screen is another dream feature. Ideally, the screen should be at least seven inches. It would be difficult to browse the web and play games if the screen is smaller than 7 inches.

7. A great Amazon app store that offers free apps will be a good giveaway for users. Hopefully this will be easily accessible. Still, it would be much better if easy access to Android Market was also provided as Android Market also offers a wide range of applications.

8. Portability is indeed an important factor. There should be no unnecessary attachments such as a keyboard, mouse, or heavy battery. Tablet PCs are all about elegant simplicity on the outside, with plenty to offer on the inside.

9. Simplicity must be controlled for the sake of security. Extreme customization of features will only attract unwanted malware, making any information you share vulnerable to security threats. Basic Android software programs that have email, web browsing, and calendar features are good enough.

10. Knowing that the Kindle is an Amazon original, it would be great to incorporate some of the Kindle’s key features into Amazon’s new tablet. This fantastic feature will be one of the main reasons why people would prefer Amazon over any other brand.

If all of this is to be incorporated into the new Amazon tablet, it will most likely be a huge hit! With all these amazing features in one portable power device, Amazon could give both Apple and Samsung
