Amazon's press event, Wed. 7 a.m. PT (live blog)

After months of rumors, Amazon's big reveal is finally upon us. The Internet retailing giant has scheduled a Wednesday morning press conference in New York--but it has provided no additional information.

Odds are that we'll see the long-rumored Amazon tablet (which may or may not be called the Kindle Fire); possibly a refresh of the e-ink Kindle; and maybe some additional software and services to bolster those presumed new hardware devices (a streaming-video application would be a natural fit for the tablet, especially now that Amazon keeps bolstering available content to compete with Netflix).

CNET will be covering the press conference live. David Carnoy will be live-blogging from the event in Manhattan, and Buzz Out Loud will doing a special live simulcast from San Francisco with Molly Wood, Brian Tong, Stephen Beacham, and Bridget Carey. Join us right here on Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET for our complete coverage.
