Walt Mossberg – Apps Raise the iPad’s Aptitude for Real Work
Today, Amazon announced its free Kindle app for Android. Good news for the bookseller–it will soon boast an in-app bookstore to equal the buying experience on the Kindle. Amazon dropped the price of its 3G Kindle model from $259 to $189 last week due to stiff competition in the e-book war, but Google says it’s activating 100,000 Android phones a day.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
