Yeah, apps pretty much died out for PCs and Macs awhile back, I expect the same with all these app stores soon enough.

But seriously it's not really a problem, the market will correct itself. When people stop buying a billion apps for every device they own then developers won't make them anymore. I think it's a good thing that you can extend the functionality of your devices in ways the maker may have not even thought of.]]>Jan 21st 2010 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/

No, I think that "twatter" pretty much describes the service accurately.

I mean, if it's named after the people who use it, that is. ]]>Jan 23rd 2010 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 3:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/
I just bought a nook. I wish b&n would hurry on up and give the nook some content like games, facebook, twitter. Maybe they arent going to do it until they can boost the nooks battery life. They could add a feeder though for now, and put it in the daily. I think think they could also add a browser maybe next year when they get the battery up or they could make and extended battery so instead of the regular nook mili-amp hour battery,upgrade the juice in it. That would work.]]>Jan 21st 2010 8:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/
I just got a nook yesterday. Seems like a nice device with lots of potential. And the Nook hacker community has shown that it is capable. Here's hoping they take Apple's approach to backporting the OS when new versions are released.]]>Feb 7th 2010 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 12:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 12:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/
It's almost horrifically sad isn't it? In the meantime though it would be hilarious if someone were to develop a web browser that would work over the kindle's free 3g service.]]>Jan 21st 2010 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/
Do you really think that it only takes a little to release a dev kit, and that it was knee jerk to the apple tablet?

I'm pretty sure this has been in the works for a while, as I've seen job postings starting more than a year ago for SDK developers.]]>Jan 21st 2010 2:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/Jan 21st 2010 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/

In Europe, the man-purse is not unusual.

Eventually, with all these gadgets, America and other nations will have no choice but to accept men carrying around satchels and purses again (they did in the old days... But that custom died out long ago). ]]>Jan 23rd 2010 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/kindle-dev-kit-announced-active-content-coming-to-kindle-stor/The Kindle is for reading ebooks and developers should focus in improving the reading experience. The Nook is one step ahead thanks to its book lending feature, I believe that the Kindle Store would benefit from an Ebookcrossing App that could use GPS, or some app that would let users share ebooks or put them at stake in literature quizzes or comps.
I wrote a blog post describing these ideas, please let me know what Kindle App you'd like to see on http://www.bealoud.com/technology/kindle-development-kit/ :)]]>Jan 26th 2010 11:39AM
