The internet is buzzing on the possible news of a Amazon tablet to battle the evil Apple iPad but some are hoping for something bigger. Possibly the merger or purchase of netflix, though it's a far fetched idea anything is possible these days.
Nothing is for certain but the skies the limit and we shall find out if Amazon is in it to win it today! Leave comments on what you think Amazon has up their sleeves and if you feel it's a game changer.
Per a visit to a local Sprint store I received an interesting tid bit of information. First a confirmation of the rumored iphone coming in October, but it doesn't stop there! When asked about unlimited data plans going away, the rep stated "Apple will have a specific data plan for the iphone on Sprint, but Androids will keep unlimited"! This is a first I've heard of iphone specific data plans but as a Android and a Sprint customer it great news compared to other rumors!
This is not confirmed but anything is possible with Apple and especially the iphone. For more info stay tuned to thinktechdaily.
Not much more to it except that now Wallstreet commented on this so it gives this rumor some legs to stand on! I hit the link below for more info.

Hot of the heals of their blackberry event in Toronto, RIM introduces a new blackberry torch (internally new, visually the same) and 2 all touch Torches. One is for ATT and the other for Sprint, but per their blog it does not state the processor power but one can assume it's the same as the new torch at 1.2 ghz single core processor.
Is this to little to late, or just in time? Both run the new (kind of) blackberry Os 7, can this compete with likes of android and Apple's iOs? For more info hit the link below.

Google announces it's new and improved Android Market and from the looks of it, it's what we've all been waiting for. The movies & book rentals and all the Apps you love in a new slick ui.
Is Google finally shaping up and going to introduce all this along with the full roll out of Google+ (which I still wait to join)? Will this finally push its app store into apple status?
We will all be hoping that this is a sign of a more energized Google experience to finally surpass the Appleverse, until then hit the link below for more info.

With the recent announcement by Apple of iMessage that works across all Apple devices, RIM (maker of the blackberry) should be concerned.
Let's be straight about one thing, I actual love.blackberries, I've had 3 in my phone life. Blackberry messenger, and the business sector, are the only things holding RIM afloat. There are rumors of a cross platform Blackberry Messenger coming to android in the fall and then iOS in the first quarter of 2012, but will it be enough?
We all can agree that RIM is behind the times but are they a lame duck or can they pull a Sega and go from hardware to software? They have great apps and have that business mind set that could benefit say a Google. The thought of Google purchasing RIM has been whispered since the rumors of Android running on the Playbook.
Regardless of what happens RIM does need to make a move soon or follow the fate of Nokia.
Word on the street is Apple is going to be launching their new cloud music service with something that Amazon and Google didn't have, deals with the record labels!

Sources on the net are saying it's looking and more likely with this latest job posting that happened to be in the same city as the headquarters of Sprint. On top of that there have been rumors of the next iPhone to be a iPhone 4s, so more like a hybrid and not the rumored iPhone 5.
Question is, if it comes to Sprint will be the half hearted version that Verizon got or a truly new phone? Only time will tell so stay tuned and check out both these links below for more info.

As we get closer to June, Apple's usual iphone refresh month (Verizon iphone doesn't count) it seems less likely we'll see a new update.
Don't spam me with hateful comments because I was one of the many techies that told people to wait till June for this rumored update. At this point people all information is just speculation, but typically suppliers give a good indication of whether a phone is even near finish.
Is this a failed move in light Android's continued dominance? We'll see what happens but hit the link below for more information.

Have you been waiting for an alternative to iTunes or even just another way to store your music on your device? If you answered yes to even one of these vague questions then Amazon nay have just answered your prayers, if you have a PC or android phone that is.
Amazon Cloud will allow you store 5gb of music and then charge you a monthly charge for additional gb's depending on the amount of storage needed.
As a side note Google really dropped the ball and got beat on this one. This makes you wonder if Amazon is going to create that ecosystem that android users so long for (Apple beware).
For more info hit the link at the bottom, see ya in the clouds.
