Amazon Kindle revamped e-reader now available in the UK
July 29, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Amazon is preparing a big push for its e-reading hardware in the UK, making the new version of the Kindle available directly to Brits from Amazon.co.uk. Amazon has redesigned the Kindle to make it sleeker, with a 20% smaller body, and the slimmer frame means that it’s 15% lighter (weighing 250 grams). The 6 inch E-ink screen is a new high contrast affair, which Amazon claims offers 50% better contrast than any other e-reader. It’s also anti-glare, and offers crisper fonts.

HMV says Microsoft Kinect out in the UK on November 19th
July 26, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
It seems that while Microsoft hasn’t officially confirmed the street date for Kinect, its up and coming motion controller for the Xbox, a popular UK retailer has. HMV is listing Kinect as being released on November 19th, a Friday, with the peripheral available to pre-order now. Other retailers such as Amazon haven’t got a date listed yet, leading to speculation that HMV might have let the motion controlled cat slip out of the bag before Microsoft’s ready. It’ll be out two weeks previous to that in the US, the HMV website also states. Pricing is as confirmed last week, £130.
