I Pre-Ordered the Kindle Fire HD 7″, Dolby Audio, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, 32 GB [Affiliate Link] which isn’t going to be until October 25, 2012, 249$. It looks promising and I really can’t wait to test it out. It does Cost about the same as the Nexus 7 16 GB [Affiliate Link] version but you get way more room with this Kindle. They really packed this Kindle full of great stuff. Some of the things I am really interested in are:
Front Facing Camera (Wonder if I can use UStream TV With this?)
Kindle Free Time (I know my Kids will like to play games and this is one way they can and I can control it!)
Portability — I hate caring my Laptop everywhere, this will decrease the need for that. Unless I buy the Bluetooth wireless keyboard, I will still my laptop for some stuff!
Although they have the Kindle Fire HD 8.9″, Dolby Audio, Dual-Band Wi-Fi [Affiliate Link], It does cost 299$ and that seems kind of out of my price range. I can’t wait to explore my Kindle Fire HD Fire when it comes out. I won’t know more about it until I get it but when I do, I will definately talk about it some more. I might even use Youtube ore Some other service if I can to see how well the picture for the front facing camera. I can see that they are trying to get ahead of Google when it comes to portability. .
I’m not a really big fan of Macintoshes but I thought I’d share with you what happened at Macworld and what is coming out this month after the announcements. So here’s the run down on Macworld Expo 2009:
I-Life 09 (Buy the older version from Amazon 2008) — Today at Macworld, Apple showed it off. You can see the photos from Gizmodo and it looks nice. Some of the stuff this can do is Facial Recognition, also use it with Flickr and Facebook. Geotag Reversal so it can look up where you took the picture and pin point it on the map for later reference. I-life 09 will cost 79$ solo or 99$ for Family.
Garage Band 09 (Buy Garageband 2008 Tutorial DVD from Amazon) — Some very popular guitar artists teaches you how to play a guitar. Some Names that teach you how to play are Sting, And Noah Johns. You will be able to buy more lessons on Itunes for 3.99 a lesson! Not bad if you want to teach yourself.
Last thing and this is really important, Itunes will begin selling 3 tiers of songs 69 cents, 99 cents, and 1.29$ depending the popularity of the songs. Apple also dropped 8 Million Songs from DRM. They expect to have it up to 10 Million songs buy March. Apple will also sell songs over the air on the Iphone 3G (Buy the Iphone 3G fro Amazon), so you no longer have to have your computer near you to buy a song. This is about all Apple talked about at Macworld Keynote, if you have any other things that I missed buy all means leave a comment.
