This holiday was a record breaking year for many devices, and it seems Amazon’s Kindle family set a few records of their own, as Amazon was proud to announce its best holiday ever for the Kindle family. Without going into any details, Amazon announced that it had sold millions of Kindle Fire tablets as well as millions of Kindle e-readers. They go on to give more Kindle holiday facts such as:

Acer is set to show off a couple A series tablets at CES next month. In a wild night of Russian site seeing, the Iconia Tab A200 and A700 were spotted knocking back a few shots of vodka in preparation for CES. While we’ve seen the “little brother” A200 before, this is our first good look at the powerhouse A700. Sporting a Tegra 3 quad-core processor and a 10.1″ 1920 x 1200 resolution screen, the A700 is looking to steal the show. Other noted specs of the A700 include:

comScore remains a leading source for measuring key mobile trends, and their latest report is giving me a sense of deja vu. If we look at the results from the three month period ending November 2011, it’s safe to say that not much has changed. Samsung still remains the top OEM with 25.6 percent of U.S. mobile subscribers (up 0.3 percentage points), followed by LG with 20.5 percent. RIM finished last out of the top 5 with a 6.5 percent share (down 0.6). As for mobile OS platforms, I bet you can guess who’s leading.

Well, the crew over at Blue Stacks took it upon themselves to gather up as much information as they could through various sources such as Neilson and Facebook polls (Oh, I definitely believe these stats now). Whether or not you put any faith into these statistics, it is an interesting way to look at your average Android user. A quick look at this infograph has me breathing a sigh of relief, I’m happy to report that 78% of us have normal-sized heads (whew). What would you say are a few typical traits of an Android user? Take a look at the infograph to find out just how well you know your Android user stereotype.

Battery life on your Samsung Galaxy Nexus got you down? Well we have a deal for you. Verizon is currently offering standard Galaxy Nexus 1850mAH batteries with NFC for half off regular price. For a limited time only, you can grab that spare battery you know you’re going to need, for a mere $19.99. No one likes to get caught with their battery down, and it always seems like that “low battery” signal comes at the time you need your battery most. You can’t always get to a charger and having a spare can be a life saver. I already bought myself an extended battery, and use my standard battery as a spare.
