Picked out a beanie baby mystery bundle at a car boot! (they were in a plastic bag as well but it was a little dirty)

Welcome Spring, Bouncer, Mr. Grey, Acorn, Little Spring and Nook! They smell a little and Nook has a few stains, otherwise they are in good condition. They don't have any tags, which is okay! They are all heading for a much needed bath!

Kindle tablet, no iPad killer

It's an exciting time to be in the tablet market. HP pulled out. Apple is losing Steve Jobs. No one wants the Blackberry Playbook. Barnes and Noble is pushing out the Nook 2 before the holiday season. But - breaking news (not really)! Amazon is coming out with their own tablet and it should be great! Now we just need the Android marketplace to be beefed up and have some sort of filter so that the crap apps don't get in.

Amazon's tablet won't be the iPad killer that people seem to be lusting for but it's a step in the right direction. People enjoy the iPad because of the simplicity of design. They're not selling iPads to the super techies (although they are to the fanboys), they're selling them to the people who love Apple or want something that's very easy to understand. Until the Android marketplace get's it's ass into gear, it won't be killing anything except time.

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos will take the stage in New York on Wednesday to unveil the company’s exuberantly named new tablet, tipped as a cheaper competitor to Apple’s popular-but-pricey iPad. It won’t supplant the original Kindle e-reader, but will be a fuller-featured alternative, supporting streaming video, music, Web browsing via Wi-Fi and a range of apps built on the Android platform, TechCrunch reports. The price remains to be announced, with most speculating it will go for $250 or $300—placing it between the $139 Kindle and the $499 iPad 2.

This is what I call a win for the 2nd Gen Nook community.

Nook Touch

I just ordered a new nook touch. From playing with it in the store, I'm pretty sure this $139 device will be a hacker's dream. Not only is it inexpensive, it's already loaded with Android, been rooted, and has a wonderful e-ink screen preventing your eyes from hurting even after hours of staring at the screen trying to figure out what's wrong. Oh, did I mention it's battery lasts for a couple months? Reminds me of my 1st BlackBerry... :D

Anywho, I intend to hack away on it (and read on it, I mean it IS an e-reader after all), and my 1st task is to get the google framework apps up and running on it and hopefully a nice non crashy-crashy browser. A full Android tablet that can't hurt my eyes, fits in my cargo pants, weighs the better part of nothing, and lasts for months on a charge. Dream come true? Not quite, it doesn't have 3G/4G, audio, video, or a webcam, but it's getting there. Just wait till those shiny Mirasol color e-ink displays reach market saturation(excuse the pun) though, that'll be the day.
