The long-rumored Amazon tablet is coming this October, according to the latest round of rumors this week. Built atop a custom version of Android OS, the tablet will likely feature a 9" touchscreen, a relatively low cost, and integration with Amazon's books, music, and tv/movies services. Look for it to launch next to an all-new, touchscreen-based Kindle.
A Microsoft representative may have accidentally outed September as the launch date for the next version of Windows Phone 7 and a batch of new phones that run the OS, which is code named "Mango."
Running Netflix can't be cheap - they account for most of the Internet traffic in North America, for Heaven's sake. So it had to happen, and this week it did: Netflix raised its prices.
Why is another tech blogger miffed at AllThingsD? This week it's a dude from TechCrunch ... no, not that dude.
So many mobile devices launched or hit stores this week - which one's in the box that just arrived to Noah's office?
