Smooth as Silk?

 Amazon is introducing a new mobile web browser along with its new Kindle Fire, Silk. However, its more than the "hum drum" mobile browser that we have come accustomed to. What it does is, it takes your request for pages and hands it off to Amazon's EC2 (Elastic Cloud) server which does all of the computing power for the website request. It was compared by the Amazon developer team as a high speed multi-core computer rendering the site and regurgitating back to the user. So, what does this mean to the end user? well Amazon wants you to think that it provides a speedier browsing experience, which it will do, but at what cost? Privacy. By sending internet queries to the Amazon server, Amazon becomes, a some what, Internet Service Provider (ISP). Basically, the e-retailer giant will see everything you browse, and potentially save that information for an undetermined amount of time. Right now, Amazon has stated that it would only be for 30 days, but that could change (read this article on this). Thankfully, the user can opt out of this service and browse with out the help EC2, which is a relief for the people that are a bit weary of their information. Nevertheless, we are living in an ever growing internet world, so c'mon, how long will privacy even matter?

Will the Kindle Fire bring joy to the saturated second rate tablet race??

There is no doubt that this tablet falls into the sub-Android tablet category, but what the Kindle Fire offers could change the market completely. Amazon has done something new here, instead of building from the already established Android ecosystem, they have created their own, and offer some of most well executed services across the board. They are implementing this device with their lucrative business in e-books, movie streaming, android applications, and the all mighty Amazon online store. People with Amazon Prime, and there are a lot of them (myself included), should definitely look into the Fire as an enhancement to all of the services listed above. This is where I think the tablet can rise above the stagnent  market and set a standard or maybe even be the only player. During his keynote, Jeff Bezos compared Amazon as being Coke in the online retail business and there hasnt been a Pepsi yet. If Amazon can pull this off and have developers behind it, he may not be that far off in the tablet business as well.

Ice Cream Sandwich?!

Well, it looks the press is getting their invitations to some sort of Samsung and Google colab event. Let's hope for the best, but c'mon it has to be the next version of Android...

Google's dessert is leaking...

Engadget was able to snag a preview from the upcoming release of Ice Cream Sandwich! there are some notable improvements but nothing to far from Honeycomb. Check the video before it gets pulled...

Thanks, Engadget.com

Update: eh here it is

Dont worry, the original Kindle still lives!

If you see the new Kindles and wonder what happened to the physical keyboard or ask yourself, "why must I suffer going through an onscreen keyboard using a d-pad like I'm typing my name into an old N64 console to post a high score." than you still have a chance to grab the Kindle 2 for only 100 bucks!

Update: It is now known as the Kindle Keyboard...

Thanks, Amazon.com

"From Kindle comes Fire!!!"

Well here it finally is, Amazon has entered the failing Android tablet market with its Kindle Fire...Even though the Fire looks like it was pieced together from Blackberry Playbook parts, and let's be honest it probably is, I hope it does a lot better than the Playbook did.

Thanks, Amazon.com...

From CEO, to GOV. aspirations, back to CEO...
