TechCrunch has apparently gotten some time with Amazon's forthcoming slate, and reports that it has a 7-inch, backlit color capacitive screen and is bereft of physical buttons. Amazon is making the last few software tweaks before it goes on sale this November. The tablet is running a heavily skinned version of Android and has a Cover Flow-esque UI which is deeply integrated with all of Amazon's services (Cloud Player, Instant Video Player, Appstore, and -- obviously -- the Kindle app).
And the price? It will reportedly launch at $250 -- not quite TouchPad territory, but well underneath the iPad's $500 price.
