Kindle App Now Available For Android Phones

It was only a matter of time. On the same day iPhones and iPads received video and audio updates on their Kindle app versions, Android phones try to play catch up by getting the Kindle app on Monday. You will be able to shop for e-books and download ones you already have with the app. Now it’s not a fully featured version as the iPhones and iPads. Searching with full-text and browsing are not going to be on the first version, but on updates to come. It’s pretty basic overall. You swipe left and right to advance pages, press down on the center to check out  the title, and you can even bookmark. Again, though, there will be no audio and video support on the first release though. So although it’s basic, we can hope for good things to come.

$160 Zune HD At Wal-Mart

The Zune HD is definitely a nice multimedia player. For $160, that’s $40 cheaper than what it normally goes for. So if you were in the market for one, I definitely suggest checking this deal out before it’s over.

Although their place in the phone market has been pretty much dismal lately(even though Windows Mobile 7 launches in October), in other technology related areas, Microsoft is definitely still pumping out fine devices(Zune HD, Xbox 360 Slim, Windows 7)
