Will the next Amazon Fire tablet have a Android operating system? If that's the case, prepare for a major price hike. According unnamed insiders that spoke to Reuters, Amazon is planning a strategic overhaul of its Fire tablets which would involve using an open source version of the Android operating system.

As part of a project known internally as Kittyhawk, Amazon plans to release a higher-end tablet as soon as next year offering the Android operating system software for the first time, according to six people familiar with the matter.
