New Kindle Fire HD Leaked Photos

I bet until this weekend most of people will keep talking about the iOS 7, iPhone 5s, and iPhone 5c. We are not gonna do this, let's shift the focus from Apple to Amazon. The new Kindle Fire HD's photos has been leaked by a source of BGR.

The new Kindle Fire HD abandoned the old arc edge design, instead it adopts tough lines, express strong industrial smell.

Two speakers placed on the slope of device, in the middle is a big Amazon logo. The location of the power button has been adjusted , located on the side slope to prevent accidental touch , while the older power button design makes users crazy.

The volume buttons are also places on the slope.

The slopes angle of top (left side of the image) and bottom device are different, and this device is not gonna be thin.

All the images are coming from GBR.

Sony Officially Announced PRS-T3

I used to think Sony would announce PRS-T3 on the press conference of Xperia Z1, but I was wrong. Sony chose another day to introduce the latest generation of their eBook reader, Sony PRS-T3.

The Sony PRS-T3 has the same 6-inch pearl screen compare the PRS-T2, and the resolution rises to 1024*758 from 800*600. User can flip the pages by touching the screen.

The default ROM is 2GB and people can extend to 32GB with MicroSC card. It supports eBooks in ePub, PDF and TXT format. Just like all the popular eBook reader except Kindle.

The only “highlight” is people can embed a protective snap cover on the side of device body, it’s much lighter and convenient than a traditional smart cover but not inferior in capability.

And Sony also brings Quick Charge feature to PRS-T3, 3 minutes of charging enables people to read 600 pages. A full charge can stand for 2 months without WiFi and 1.5 months with WiFi. And it also has a simple built-in web browser to help people search book information and visit wikipedia.

People can choose among Black, White and Pink, it will land on Europe by the end of September. But Sony didn’t tell the price on their website. Nate Hoffelder from The Digital Reader said the price would be 139 euro (about 183 US-Dollar).

I think even the price includes the protective snap cover, it rarely gets competition with Kindle.

Look the Android Phone Released by Hugo Barra's New Company

Not long ago, the news Hugo Barra left Google for a Chinese Company Xiaomi is taken all the media's headlines. And I bet not everyone knows about the Hugo's new company, Xiaomi.

On September 5, Xiaomi announced their latest product, Mi 3.

As usual the Mi 3's specs are exaggerated：

• CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8974
• GPU: Qualcomm Adreno330
• RAM: 2GB
• ROM: 16GB/64GB
• Battery: 3050 mAh
• Camera: 13M on the back, 2M for front
• Screen: 5-inch, 1920x1080, 441 PPI

And the price: $326. I am not miss-typing, with such powerful specs, the price is only $326.

On the other hand, Xiaomi is long-time blamed for its hunger marketing strategy. People need to wait for long time for the sale date, and if you are not lucky or your network speed is poor. Sorry, you have to wait for another period of time.

However, can Hugo Barra brings Xiaomi to a new level? We will just wait and see.

Barnes & Noble Nook Video app available for iOS, Android and Roku

Launched in last fall and aimed for the US market primarily, Barnes & Noble Nook Video app does not seem to forge ahead over the year. In the meantime, Netflix and Hulu are the first options when it comes to video apps while Kindle Fire (HD) users mostly choose Amazon’s Instant Video (Prime).

Anyway, Barnes & Noble has launched new offensive in the mobile & multi-media market after its big failure in Nook tablet line. This time, Barnes & Noble is making the Nook Video app available for iOS, Android, and Roku streaming devices for free.

The latest Nook Video enables users to browse, buy and rent TV shows as well as movies (videos) on different mobile platforms. Nook HD users have been able to access this app since its debut last year and will now lose this Privilege, but a wider audience may well facilitate Nook's improvement in video business.

Nook Video does not have the inside track when compared to its peers. The company is unable to offer as abundant video resources (movies, TV show, etc.) as or and Hulu by far, but is working hard to partner with more production companies, such as Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM. It seems tough for Barnes & Noble to make a dent in the video field, at least it should let people know "Why we choose Nook Video", and let more know. Promotion together with Nook books may be an outlet.

Google and Amazon Push Android Tablets Into Full HD Era

Image Credit: digitaltrends.com

Last September Amazon updated the tablet product line with two Kindle Fire HDs. One year passed, the new generation of Kindle Fire is around the corner, and the significant improvement might still happen on the screen.

Someone found a device labeled "Amazon KFAPWA", this device equipes Android 4.2.2 and an ultra HD screen, the resolution is amazing 2560*1600. From the specs we can figure out this device is exactly the new generation of Kindle Fire HD 8.9.

To keep up with such a HD screen, the new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 uses Adreno 330 GPU and Snapdragon 800 CPU. The Spapdragon 800 is the top gear for tablet and cellphone at the moment.

And we can also guess, the Kindle Fire HD 7's screen will be 1920*1200 to differ from the HD 8.9. But I don't think it will use Snapdragon 800, instead the CPU will be chosen from Tegra.

The first tablet reaches 2560*1600 is Google Nexus 10, but it had little sales impact. And in Android tablet market, Google and Amazon are the duo who take the majority of the cake. Not long ago Google introduced the 2nd generation of Nexus 7 and the screen is 1920*1200.

With Amazon's two new tablets also reach 1920*1200 and 2560*1600, the Android tablet has officialy entered full HD era. No doubt Sumsung and Sony will follow throught quickly. Along with the new iPad mini with Retina screen, the 7-inch HD tablets are blooming.

Nexus 10's failure has a big correlation with the price, with Nexus 7 and new Kindle Fire HDs adopting full HD screen, the full HD screen will enter low-cost market. More white-label will join this wave before long and enhance the quality of Android tablet again, this will bring more pressure on Apple.

Don't forget, Apple just lost ground in tablet market by the first time, and Android made it.
