Yesterday, Amazon held an event to announce its new line of Kindles. They had some impressive features, decent specs, but best of all — an incredible price. If you don’t feel like reading all about it and would rather watch the video of yesterday’s event, you’re in luck. Amazon has uploaded the full video to YouTube as well as their press site. Don’t feel like switching pages? Then just watch is here after the break. Cheers!
Amazon dropped a few bombs on us today with its new Kindle Fire HD line. Not only will they be following up with another 7-inch model, but they’ve added in a larger 8.9-inch model for good measure. The event ended not too long ago and I have to admit — I’m impressed. The specs and features were well enough to have me intrigued, but when they laid out the pricing, I was stoked. I may end up an Amazon convert, we’ll have to see.
Samsung has announced that the Galaxy S III has become their most successful smartphone, surpassing 20 million units sold in just 100 days. I can’t say I’m surprised, it’s an excellent device. Samsung did a brilliant job (minus TouchWiz) and makes it quite obvious as to why they are the leading manufacturer of Android devices.
As you can see by the numbers above, it’s still a sad state of affairs when it comes to Android devices being updated to the latest platform version. The majority of Android devices out there are still stuck on Gingerbread — a version of Android released almost 2 years ago. We, of course, can’t blame Google for this, but the lack of updates by OEMs and carriers is downright disgusting.
Let me start by saying the details on this offer are very sketchy and all the information has yet to be posted. With that said, let’s see what Motorola is promising this time. Motorola is promising to bring Jelly Bean to all of its smartphones released for sale in 2011 or greater (U.S. sold smartphones only). If they fail to update your device to Jelly Bean, they will give you $100 back when you trade in your old Motorola smartphone and purchase a select new one.
