Amazon stops selling Nintendo 3DS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesNintendoAmazon3DS
Amazon has stopped directly selling the Nintendo 3DS citing customer complaints as the cause of its decision. The portable gaming console currently has 359 reviews and an average of 4/5 stars on Amazon’s website, which suggests customers are happy with the unit itself, but the online retailer has posted a note that states:
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it’s described here. (Thanks for the tip!)
We’re working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
It remains unclear but Amazo...

Droid Bionic's secrecy betrayed on Amazon, by simple dock listings
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaAmazonDROID BIONIC Etna
We had our hands on a raw version of the Droid Bionic way back at CES, but two listings on Amazon for desktop and car docking stations, uncovered by Android Central forum posters, may give the clearest look at the phone so far. As you can see in the shot above of the desktop dock Motorola's slab appears to have a chrome ring running around the outside, while the dock itself has a 3.5mm audio out, HDMI output and USB ports. There's no price or release date listed for either accessory but if you've been lusting over the beast and its rumored specs we're figuring some quiet time with these shots is just what the doctor ordered -- check after the break for a shot of the car dock and the back of ...

Amazon game download store arrives in October
Like UnlikeFiled in: Amazon
Amazon is to take on the likes of Steam by launching its own online games store in the UK. Amazon has been trialling a games download service in the US but progress has been slow. A full store will be launching on this side of the pond some time in October.
You can already buy games from Amazon, in much the same way as you can buy everything else from books (obviously) to Live Insects and of course Wolf Urine. What this usually means is that you get a boxed copy of the game delivered to your door in a few days.
Once Amazon complete the trials of its new games store you should get the option to wait for a physical copy or just download it there and then. This will only apply to certain PC ga...

Amazon's Petition Successful, California Voters Can Overturn Online Sales Tax Law
Like UnlikeFiled in: Amazon
It will be up to California residents to decide whether or not Amazon and other online retailers will have to collect sales tax in their state. According to the Associated Press, the California Attorney General's Office approved Amazon's petition for a referendum that will give voters the chance to overturn a new controversial law that altered what it means to have a physical presence in the state.
The next step for Amazon is to collect 505,000 signatures from registered voters living in California so that the referendum can be included on the next ballot. Amazon has until September 27th to secure the necessary John Hancocks, and if Amazon is able to do that, California would be forced to su...

Amazon offers up to 80% off digital textbook rentals
Like UnlikeFiled in: Amazon
Amazon has gone and done all the college students out there a solid with a new savings program for textbooks. Amazon is offering students 80% off the price of any print textbook as a digital rental on the Kindle. That means you can get your books in digital format, save a ton of loot, and hit the parents up for a new eReader with justification. The only downside I see is that you won’t be able to sell your books for beer money after dropping a class.

Amazon UK Drops Apple Pricing Across The Board
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleAmazon
Apple has a lot of rumored revamps coming up, including new MacBook Airs, new Apple TVs, and even new LED Cinema Displays. This could mean a lot of the older models will start to be discounted, which could be partly why Amazon UK has just dropped pricing across the board for almost all of their Apple products.
As of this writing, a search for Apple products on Amazon UK reveals many Apple products with prices cut back, even if only by a few British pounds. Considering the exchange rate, however, that translates to quite a bit more in savings when it comes to US dollars.

Like UnlikeFiled in: AmazonFoxconn
Foxconn will build Amazon’s rumored 10.1-inch tablet, DigiTimes reported on Thursday. The Android tablet is expected to ship in 2012 according to the report, but Amazon may want to get the device out the door a bit earlier in order to to have it on store shelves in time for the holiday season. A smaller 7-inch version that was built by Quanta computer is already on its way to Amazon and, while other reports suggested it is a 9-inch tablet, that is likely the model we have heard will launch in late August or September. We broke the news that Amazon will launch a “Coyote” tablet that packs a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra processor, as well as a larger “Hollywood” tablet powered by the new quad-core K...

Amazon and Best Buy drop pricing on HP TouchPad
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPAmazonTouchPad
Amazon and Best Buy have both dropped their pricing on the 16GB and 32GB models of HP’s new TouchPad tablet. Amazon customers can now pick up a 16GB model for $489.99 or a 32GB model for $572.65, down from $499.99 and $599.99, respectively. Similarly, Best Buy is now offering the 32GB model for $579.99. We’re not surprised by the price drops. In our recent review of the TouchPad, we said it’s “just good” in its current state and that the original pricing was OK if you had the patience for the tablet. At least now you’ll be able to save a few bucks for the nifty Touchstone charging dock.

Apple loses ‘app store’ exclusivity to Amazon: Does it matter?
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleAmazon
Apple’s injunction request against Amazon to axe the company’s use of the term ‘app store’ has been denied. The Amazon Appstore for Android lives on, ready and willing to offer free daily apps at will. As the dust begins to settle following the ruling by the US federal judge, how will this impact Apple and more importantly: does it matter?
Apple has rightfully pioneered the modern application library through its App Store. With more than 300,000 apps available and an endless slue of developers chomping at the bit for a chance to strike gold, apps and Apple have almost become synonymous. As I’ve followed the mobile industry for the past five years, today’s ruling by Judge Phyllis Hamilton is ...

Amazon could ship 1.2 million tablets this year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Amazon
The Amazon Android tablets are almost definitely coming soon and a new report from DigiTimes suggests that the company is preparing to have 1.2 million tablets ready by the third quarter. This would put it behind only one other tablet maker: Apple.
DigiTimes has been hit or miss with these types of things before but it generally is spot on with supplier information. The report said:
Among orders from non-iPad vendors, those from Amazon are said to be the most positive, with demand for touch panels likely to reach two million units for the August-September period, the sources indicated, noting that shipments of tablet PCs to Amazon are expected to reach 1-1.2 million units by a conservative e...
