A new bit of "rumint" from DigiTimes suggests that Amazon has dropped their idea of offering an 8.9-inch version of their Kindle Fire, and instead will focus instead on their new 10-Inch model instead. Supposedly, Amazon's intention is to price this new 10-inch version of the Kindle Fire competitively enough to take on Apple's iPad directly in the market. Obviously, Amazon's ecosystem of Kindle books, and other digital content, well help them in this regard, but they do have a big hill to climb.

On the flip-side of this, this same rumor from DigiTimes suggests that the rumors of Apple coming out with an iPad mini are true, and that Apple intends to compete directly with Amazon in the smaller and cheaper segment too. Could Apple price their product competitively enough to be taken seriously? Also, if they do, will they hurt their reputation as a premier and higher-end hardware vendor by doing so? It will be interesting to see how things pan out.

This story is especially important for our male readers out there... we have some sad news to share with you. You spouse/significant other may be having an affair... an affair with their tablet device. Apparently, according to a recent survey, 1/4 of women surveyed would rather give up sex for a year than give up their tablets for a year. (scary thought of the day - if that trend increases our species could be doomed!!!!)

Yahoo! recently performed a survey regarding tablet habits in the average American household. Their results were quite intriguing to say the least. Here's a breakdown of the most interesting tidbits:

• 62% of all U.S. tablet owners now say they use their tablets on a daily basis with an average use of 2.4 hours per day
• 15% would give up their car for an entire year to be able to keep their tablet!
• Tablets are now the second most fought over device in the living room, just behind desktops/laptops, and ahead of TV remotes.
• A third of men frequently take their tablet to the bathroom.
• Forty percent of women never take the tablet to the bathroom.
• Twenty percent of women are happy to give up sex to keep their tablet.
• Only half as many men would give up sex for their tablet (13%).
• The tablet is the go-to wind-down device: 91% use their tablet in bed.

So, gentlemen, the next time you see your female in bed with her tablet, just take a moment to tease her. You might say something like, "Hey! Get your boyfriend out of my bed!"

Amazon's amazing Android tablet, the Kindle Fire, just received a new update. This update brings the K-Fire to version 6.3.1. It brings some bug fixes and new features. Here's a breakdown (taken directly from Amazon) of everything that is in this update and some other recent updates:

• Additional parental controls: including the ability to password-protect purchases, disable access to specific content libraries, and block access to the Silk web browser
• Sharing: Easily share favorite passages and notes from books directly from Kindle Fire. Simply highlight a passage and select "Share," add a note, and choose which social network you'd like to post to.
• Book Extras: Powered by Shelfari, Amazon's community of book lovers, Book Extras make it easy to see supplemental material about the book you are reading, without leaving the book. View descriptions of characters, a glossary of common terms used in the book, information on the authors and common locations referenced in the book, and more. To view Book Extras within your book, tap the bottom of the screen to bring up the options bar, tap the menu icon and select "Book Extras."
• Archive of Personal Documents: Your personal documents are stored in the Amazon Cloud and available for redownload at any time from the Docs content library on your Kindle Fire. Just as with Kindle books, Whispersync automatically syncs notes, highlights and furthest page read for personal documents.

• Reading View for Amazon Silk: With Reading View on Silk, the content that you're interested in is elevated above the clutter in a reading-optimized, single screen view (even for multi-page articles). The full page is still available in the background, allowing you to easily toggle back to a traditional view to see other interesting features on the page.
• Movie Rentals: The rental period for movie rentals downloaded to Kindle Fire now starts when you starts watching the movie, rather than at download.
• Additional Enhancements: Faster re-connect of Wi-Fi after your Kindle Fire has been asleep, and general performance enhancements.

We have an interesting rumor that comes from two different sources suggesting that Target may be having a fantastic clearance sale on all Kindle devices, including the Kindle Fire. Apparently, Target may have inked a deal with a competitor of the Kindle lineup and because of that they are blowing out all their Kindle inventory. Initially, all their Kindle devices will go on sale for 30% off. This means you can potentially pick up the Kindle Fire for $140 bucks. But that's not all. Supposedly, this "fire-sale" (pun intended) will ramp up over a 3 week period and will get progressively better until all the inventory is gone. It will initially start at 30% off, then progress to 50% off and finally culminate with 75 % off. It's important to note that this is an "in store" only deal. There is no hint of it at all online. It is supposed to start today.

If there is anyone that can confirm this deal today, please take a moment to sound off in the forums!
