Roundup of tech news of 7th september

IFA has been big this year, Companies showing off their devices that will soon becoming to the market. It may not be as big as CES but it still packs a big enough punch to make a dent in the technology world. 

Amazon made an announcement last night that they are bringing out a successor to the Kindle Fire. Convientley called the Kindle Fire HD but they didn't just bring out one successor, they brought out two. One at 8.9 inches and the other one just it's older brother, is 7". You can probably guess what the new device features with a name like Kindle Fire HD, I'm putting euthasis on HD! Yes it has a HD display on the kindle Fire. I'm not sure what kind of version of android it is. It's very hard to tell. Amazon have done the same thing that they did with the original Kindle Fire, they used the Android Operating system as a base and produced a skin that not only changes the way android looks if you didn't know what was android, you'd guess that amazon have created their own operating system for their tablet. as you're using the kindle fire, there's only subtle details that you see that are only available to android users.

There's also one more thing that amazon have created to add to their Line-up of kindles. It's the Kindle Paperwhite. No not paperweight although many tech bloggers might refer it to a paper weight. A paperwhite has a much higher pixel density that the previous kindles, it's so much higher that it has 62% more pixels. So now books really do stand out from the crowd, when you're reading it. They say it actually looks like ink printed on paper. That's not all either, you've got a built-in Back lit light, so you can read your books at night incase your power has gone out or your secretly reading your book under the bed without the parents finding out so you don't need a torch to read it anymore.

The whole argument i've made between reading books on the iPad and reading books on the kindle, is that after a long period of time reading on a iPad you've got eyestrain and that's because of the LCD screen and with the original kindle having no LCD screen, just an E-ink screen and no back lit LCD, you'd have to rely on a lamp if you're reading at night or in a dark place and you'd get no eyestrain but now eyestrain may occur when having a back lit light integrated into the kindle.

Thanks for reading and that's been the roundup for this week.
