Target to Stop Selling Amazon Kindle?

Amazon?s Kindle first hit Target stores in 2010 and by all indications the sales have been very successful. In fact, the Kindle Fire became the retailer?s best-selling tablet during Black Friday in 2011. Now according to an internal memo from Target and some info from an unnamed source, Target will stop carrying the Kindle line due to a ?conflict of interest?.

The internal memo shows that Target will be removing Amazon hardware from its locations starting this month. They will have a selection of accessories that will continue to sell in the stores, but the Kindles themselves will stop selling on May 13th.

Right now some physical stores still have the Kindle devices, but Target?s Kindle branded online store came up empty. We have no word on what the ?conflict of interest? actually is but TheVerge thinks that it is Apple who recently partnered with Target for a small number of mini-stores.

Asus Cites Snapdragon S4 Shortage for Padfone Delay

It looks like Asus? transforming Padfone smartphone-tablet-netbook device has missed its April debut date in Taiwan and the manufacturer of the device cites Qualcomm?s shortage of the Snapdragon S4 processor as the reason. Initially, the Padfone would have debuted in Taiwan in April and the company would launch the device in more markets shortly after, according to Liliputing. Now, it?s unclear when the Padfone would launch and if Asus would have to make tweaks to the hardware or design to accommodate a different processor than the S4 chipset.

Qualcomm had announced earlier that it was encountering difficulties meeting high demands of its dual-core Snapdragon S4 chipset. The company says that it is working with top tier manufacturers to ensure that supplies are available and are helping other manufacturers secure alternatives to its powerful chipset.

Qualcomm?s dual-core CPU is no slouch, however, and promises better compatibility with 4G networks. The company?s claims that the dual-core S4 would offer impressive performance holds true as dual-core S4 phones are maintaining their ground against rivals using NVIDIA?s quad-core Tegra 3 ARM CPU.

The Padfone is a heavily hyped and anticipated gadget for tech geeks who appreciate a modular design that was announced over a year ago. At its core is an Android smartphone with cleverly implemented docks that transforms the phone into a tablet, and then the tablet into a netbook?your processing power and mobile connectivity are all housed in the phone. The concept is not unlike Asus? Transformer tablets, which have a thin keyboard dock with a trackpad to transform the Android slate into a netbook.

We-Watt and their WeBike

by Edwin - on April 30th, 2012

If you find yourself losing against the battle of the bulge, then you might want to take certain steps to ensure that victory is at hand in the end. It is all right to lose a few battles to some steaks and ice cream here and there, but the war must be won ultimately. We-Watt from Belgium has an idea that might just help you burn some calories whenever you are working ? and not only that, the kind of energy you expend will not be put to waste, but rather, can also help provide some much needed juice for the modern thirsty gadgets that we have all come to know and love. Known as the WeBike, this modern piece of furniture will come in an interesting formation of a cedar-clad table alongside a trio of pedaling stations.

This would definitely make the entire working and pedaling experience a whole lot more social, and as we all know, to exercise with your colleagues would definitely be incentive enough to see who can outdo one another, instead of flying solo. The WeBike is said to be debuting at a Brussels airport in due time, although it has already made its way to restaurants and a shopping mall in that part of the world. No idea on how much it will cost, but how much pedaling does one need to make in order to fully charge an iPhone?
