The long-awaited Amazon Tablet is here, and it was outed by Bloomberg a good five minutes before the actual event started. At just 7″, the Android-based dual core tablet lacks cameras and 3G connectivity (there’s Wi-fi though). The Fire resembles RIM’s Playbook (there’s allegedly a reason for that) and is a smart looking piece of […]

Hey look, a tablet post that isn’t about a TouchPad — it must be Thursday. In fact, it’s also IFA, which means the device announcements are coming faster than I can keep track.
