Amazon selling discounted mobile broadband Netbooks (plan required)
I’ve just noticed (though this certainly could have been the case for some time) that Amazon is offering three models of discounted Netbooks with embedded 3G mobile broadband connectivity. The discounts on the models are at least $300 provided that you also subscribed to the pricey (typically $60+/mo) wireless broadband service of either AT&T or [...]
Amazon revamps wireless site – clearer upgrade options and all phones rebate free for AT&T and Verizon phones
It looks like Amazon has refined their online wireless store so that AT&T and Verizon cell phones will be sold without the need to file a rebate. Amazon has always sold phones however some were sold with a requirement to file for a rebate while others were rebate free. For now only AT&T and Verizon [...]

Amazon Acquires Stanza eBook Reader
It was just a few weeks ago Jessica was writing about the excellent Stanza ebook reader for the iPhone. Today the New York Times is reporting that Amazon has bought out Lexcycle, the makers of the application.

Celebrate Earth Day!
courtesy of onemandbandwith.org Today is Earth Day, and that means it is a great day to start your “green resolutions.” You already recycle (when you remember and there’s a recycling bin handy), you walk instead of drive as much as possible (does walking to the car count? YES!), and you’ve tamed your electronics so they [...]
Amazon App for BlackBerry Review
Amazon has launched a free BlackBerry application, allowing customers to find, discover, and purchase products directly from their smartphone. The application is optimized for BlackBerry devices with track-ball interfaces. This means, at least for now, BlackBerry Storm users are left out in the cold (sorry, those of you still clinging on to your track-wheel 8700 or [...]
Put Your eBook Library on Your Kindle
If you’re like me, you’ve got GOBS of eBooks, likely in more than one format, all over the place. I’ve got tons of books in MS Reader format (now THERE’S a blast from the past that most of us would like to forget), eReader format, MobiPocket format, etc. Some of the books that I have [...]
iTunes Raises Top Song Price, Others Follow, Consumers Lose
I have long since accepted two things as fact: that I like music very few others like and many find intolerable, and that I have been an Apple supporter since they made the first computer I bought with my own money (Apple ][+ in ~1980). And while there were many years that found me as [...]

Amazon’s Kindle App for iPhone and Kindle Books support Color
I’ve been playing with the new Kindle app for iPhone. For the record, I do NOT own a Kindle and don’t plan to buy one until they offer a color screen. When I read about the app availability earlier today, I took a look at it’s description on the app store. I realized there was [...]
Use Your Phone To Price Check Items to Amazon – You May Be Pleasantly Surprised
I was in Sams Club yesterday and on three electronic items I price checked to Amazon.com, every one was CHEAPER by $10 to $30 at Amazon.com. This morning I’m noticing that Costco has the Nikon D40 for 9.99 – and sure enough Amazon beats them by (but Riz Camera actually has them all beat by [...]
