Wall Street Journal mentions an "advertising-supported tablet" The Wall Street Journal's Greg Bensinger reports that Amazon will ratchet up "pricing pressure in the gadget wars" with "an advertising-supported tablet that will be priced lower than similar models, according to people involved in the discussions."
Any exact pricing info isn't available until the press conference Sept. 6, of course.
Bensinger added two pieces of information:
' The new tablet would display an ad after the user "wakes" the gadget, said one person briefed on the matter.
Additionally, Amazon is testing its own smartphone to take on Apple's iPhone and could release it as soon as the end of this year, officials at Amazon's parts providers who declined to be named said in July. '

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
