Amazon Kindle Fire, do not call it Android tablet. September 28, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, News, Tech , add a commentAmazon introduces Kindle Fire, a new class of Kindle with color touchscreen.
Don’t call it an Android tablet, though.
Q: How many times does the word “Android” appear on Amazon’s Kindle Fire page?
A: Once, in the following sentence: “Additional email apps are available in our Amazon Appstore for Android.” It’s a Kindle tablet, not an Android tablet.
Amazon Kindle Fire is priced at $199 and will be released on November 15th, 2011.
“Orders are prioritized on a first come, first served basis.”
Amazon Kindle Fire also comes with one month of Amazon Prime, which includes video streaming and free two-day shipping.

How would Amazon Kindle Fire compete with other tablets? The $199 price point is quite attractive. Amazon Prime customers would certainly enjoy the video streaming.

Amazon Terminates Associates Program in California. June 30, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Headlines, Media, News, Resources, Tech , add a commentAmazon.com sends termination notices to its California Associates program members as Governor Jerry Brown signed the law that requires online retailers to collect sales taxes even though they don’t have any physical presence in California.
Hello,
Unfortunately, Governor Brown has signed into law the bill that we emailed you about earlier today. As a result of this, contracts with all California residents participating in the Amazon Associates Program are terminated effective today, June 29, 2011. Those California residents will no longer receive advertising fees for sales referred to Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM or SmallParts.com.
Would you still purchase products from Amazon if they were charging Sales Tax?
