Detwiler Fenton’s consumer research team this morning apprises us that they have heard that the rumored color version of Amazon.com’s (AMZN) Kindle, expected later this year, and supposedly code-named “Hollywood,” will include a streaming movie service for playback on the device, which service will apparently be available for free to the first wave of buyers of the device.
Detwiler thinks Hollywood and other e-readers will be the vast majority of tablet computers sold outside of Apple’s (AAPL) iPad. They further argue Chinese and other manufacturers of low-priced tablets will put pressure on Motorola Mobility (MMI) and Research in Motion (RIMM). Those two may sell only 1 million tablet units this year, they think.
