Wireless Reading Device

13 07 2008

One more thing i fell in love with that i can’t have ! At least not for now.. But soon I hope..
Its Kindle : The New Wireless Reading Device. I’ve always had a problem with books, especially hard cover ones, they’re too heavy and honestly i cant enjoy a good book if am gonna have to feel like am lifting weights whie reading it at night !
I think a portable reading device is exactly what i need..
Here’s a little thing about it ;

“Introducing Kindle ;
Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle.

We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both “lefties” and “righties” can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time.

We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—we take care of the hassles so you can just read.

With Whispernet, you can be anywhere, think of a book, and get it in one minute. Similarly, your content automatically comes to you, wherever you are. Newspaper subscriptions are delivered wirelessly each morning. Most magazines arrive before they hit newsstands. Haven’t read the book for tomorrow night’s book club? Get it in a minute. Finished your book in the airport? Download the sequel while you board the plane. Whether you’re in the mood for something serious or hilarious, lighthearted or studious, Kindle delivers your spontaneous reading choices on demand.

And because we know you can’t judge a book by its cover, Kindle lets you download and read the beginning of books for free. This way, you can try it out—if you like it, simply buy and download with 1-Click, right from your Kindle, and continue reading. Want to try a newspaper as well? All newspaper subscriptions start with a risk-free two-week trial.

Kindle’s paperback size and expandable memory let you travel light with your library. With the freedom to download what you want, when you want, we hope you’ll never again find yourself stuck without a great read.”




Random things

So I was in Bahrain last weekend… and I saw 2 random things that I would like to show to you. the pictures below are an escalator that I noticed was a bit short. it was the escalator of Alyateem mall in Bahrain.. it has to be less than 12 steps long.. it was just funny.

The second picture is a pimped out Land Cruiser that was parked in the building my friend lives in. it’s a Land Cruiser with a rolls-royce front end and some random body kit around it. I thought it’s ugly .. enjoy it




Fring for Symbian

13 07 2008

I have always wanted to use Skype on my phone.. So I decided to installed Fring on my E71 which is a client for Skype, MSN, ICQ and other messaging services. whats really awesome about it is the fact that you can use 3G to make the calls, that means international calling just became 100 times cheaper for me! the reasons i didn’t like fring before was the fact that it was only WiFi for the calls, now with this feature and my 14KD per month subscription for data it’s very good way to be connected with people outside of Kuwait as well as saving money when you do that.
