Amazon dropped a few bombs on us today with its new Kindle Fire HD line. Not only will they be following up with another 7-inch model, but they’ve added in a larger 8.9-inch model for good measure. The event ended not too long ago and I have to admit — I’m impressed. The specs and features were well enough to have me intrigued, but when they laid out the pricing, I was stoked. I may end up an Amazon convert, we’ll have to see.

Samsung has announced that the Galaxy S III has become their most successful smartphone, surpassing 20 million units sold in just 100 days. I can’t say I’m surprised, it’s an excellent device. Samsung did a brilliant job (minus TouchWiz) and makes it quite obvious as to why they are the leading manufacturer of Android devices.

Let me start by saying the details on this offer are very sketchy and all the information has yet to be posted. With that said, let’s see what Motorola is promising this time. Motorola is promising to bring Jelly Bean to all of its smartphones released for sale in 2011 or greater (U.S. sold smartphones only). If they fail to update your device to Jelly Bean, they will give you $100 back when you trade in your old Motorola smartphone and purchase a select new one.

If you caught the Motorola event, then you saw what Motorola had to offer, and it wasn’t that great. One thing the M has going for it is price. For what the RAZR M is packing, $99 is a pretty good deal. The RAZR M features a 1.5GHz dual-core processor as well as a:

  • 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD resolution (960×540)
  • 4G LTE
  • Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
  • 8 MP camera
  • NFC
  • Kevlar
  • Gorilla Glass
  • 1080p Video Capture
  • 8GB Storage
  • 1GB RAM
  • And more!

The device is available for pre-order starting today and should hit shelves sometime next week. For more information visit the source link below.

Motorola and Verizon have announced their next lineup of RAZR devices as well as a few other tidbits. Motorola is sticking with its battery bait marketing by offering two new devices: the DROID RAZR HD and the DROID RAZR MAXX HD. As you can already conclude, the RAZR MAXX HD has the bigger battery. Other than that, they both share identical specs such as a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD display featuring 78% more pixels and 85% more color saturation than the iPhone 4S, and Android Ice Cream Sandwich (with a promise of Jelly Bean).
