Amazon Kindle HD 8.9 Slams iPad Retina With New Ad

-
Amazon has just released a brand new commercial for the Kindle HD version 8.9.

This time though they are not just trying to release a tablet that is HD they are really kicking some aces.

And you know whose aces they are kicking? You guessed it.

They did a blatant comparison with the Apple iPad retina.

In the ad, the voice talent says that there is nothing completely different about the two, except of course for one thing.

And that is price.

"This is the iPad with Retina display," says the text of the ad. "And this is the new Kindle Fire HD with an 8.9-inch display (...) You may not be able to tell the difference. But your wallet definitely can," the ad ends.

The ad difference is of course is something to raise eye brows.

The price $299 is such a god price does this even bother iPad.

One of the tech reviewers says it is a good buy but not an iPad killer.

So you think it is?

"Humbak" and "daluyong" specifically deal with oceanographic phenomena and this is within the objective meaning given to it by coastal communities. Again as I have suggested in my recent Rappler essay on the issue and using, this creation of new meaning cannot be left to scientists alone but to coastal communities. This will involve no...

Launch of the new 2023 Toyota Vios or Yaris Ativ in the Philippines

-
Image
The new-generation Vios is the one automobile that the market is unquestionably yearning for. Although the current style initially appeared in 2018, it was actually an improvement of the generation that made its debut in 2013. 9 years may not seem like a long time for frame-based cars (such as SUVs and pickup trucks), but in the context of passenger cars, that's a lifetime. Now that Toyota has released the first official preview for the next-generation Vios, we could have an answer. Toyota Motor Thailand is the company we're referring to, not Toyota Motor Philippines. Yes, they are allowing us to see the brand-new Vios for the first time.  Because of this, what is known as the Vios in the country is known as the Yaris Ativ there. The preview itself is really short—like a TikTok video of only 15 seconds. It shows a few glimpses of the new generation of cars with their market endorsers. And yeah, for a tiny car, it does look very hot. We can make out a grille that appears to be...

Actually, battery life was the big draw to this phone/phablet. power users tend to get a full day and normal users can push it to 2 days,and this was the big draw for me. samsungs AMOLED screens are gorgeous for movies/tv shows, even if their color calibration and reproduction are not photo perfect. if i had to break down my average usage: 50% web 30% media 15% txt/email 5% actual phone calls.
