Examiner: So it's Feb. 13, and you still haven't picked up a gift for your significant other, who happens to be into consumer electronics for Valentine's Day.
If you own an Amazon Fire tablet (we know you’re out there), we have some news for you. The company recently introduced the Show Mode Charging Dock for select Fire tablets. With it, you can turn your device into something closer to an Echo Show. For us that have a random Fire tablet lying around, this is a great update to give it more functionality.
CNET: The e-commerce giant marks the launch by disbursing 500 free Amazon Coins -- which buys as much as does a $5 bill -- into the Amazon accounts of existing and new Kindle Fire customers in the U.S.
Geek: After an image was uploaded to a Chinese forum site, rumors are swirling that Sony may be working on a 6.44-inch phablet to take on devices like the Galaxy Note and Huawei’s new 6-inch Ascend Mate. But at a half inch larger than the Huawei and just a half inch short of the Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab 7, and Kindle Fire, it’s quite possible Sony isn’t building this device to get in on the phablet action.
why would they set themselves up for this...
Nexus pretty much locked that tablet sizing option down and then sony is in critical condition ...
I bought my wife the Kindle Fire and it is a great gift. Touchy on the full web use, lots of zooming and pinching, and scary easy to download and run a bill. Not for irresponsible or impulse buyers, but overall it is great
Definitely a nice midpoint between a simple e-reader and a tablet.
