[Rumor] Next Generation Kindle Fire May Be Announced As Soon As July 31st

Posted by in Kindle Fire, News

While the world waits for Google's own $200 7" tablet to be announced at Google I/O, CNET is reporting that Amazon may be ready to announce a successor to the wildly popular Kindle Fire this summer. The tech blog reports that Amazon may be preparing for a July 31st launch event to announce the next Kindle-branded tablet.

CNET's sources also point to a built-in camera and physical volume controls among the additions. No word on any other new features, or if Amazon might be upgrading the version of Android that the device is built on. Currently the device runs on a heavily modified version of Gingerbread.

The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy will all be getting access to Amazon's Appstore in the coming months, and developers can head over to the App Distribution Portal to get started on certifying their apps for distribution in those countries right now. Building on that, developers will now be able to control where and when their apps will be available to customers.

Additionally, Amazon has made some changes to the terms of its developer distribution agreement.

Amazon Release MYHABIT App Into The Play Store, Helps You Find Expensive Clothes At Not-As-Expensive Prices

Posted by in Applications, News

Sometimes you have to face the facts: quality clothes are expensive. Sure, you can go buy the cheap crap, but if you want gear that screams "look at me, I'm classy," then that just won't cut it. However, if you want to score some high-end stuff without paying high-end prices, then Amazon's MYHABIT is the place to go. In fact, it's so awesome, it demands to be screamed out from the highest rooftops and written in all caps. ALL THE TIME.

So, what's the big deal with MYHABIT and why am I rambling on about it? Because Amazon just released the official MYHABIT app into the Play Store and Amazon Appstore.

[Rumor] Amazon May Be Ready To Launch Its Appstore In Europe Very Soon

Posted by in Amazon, News

So far, Amazon's Appstore, which competes with Google's own Play Store on Android apps, has been stuck within U.S. borders. A report from All Things D, however, says that may be about to change soon. The online retail company, the site says, is preparing to launch in Europe. No details on when beyond "later this summer" were available.

All Things D speculates that this might herald the arrival of the Kindle Fire, however it also rightly points out that launching a device in a new country is more complicated than launching a software storefront. We're a little skeptical that an international launch of the Appstore will mean the Kindle Fire is heading to our friends across the pond.
