The Kindle Fire 
is on the way to customers – and with it, Amazon’s hoping to revolutionize the tablet business.
The $199 entertainment-focused device is actually shipping a day earlier than planned, as Amazon looks to build on the substantial buzz the Kindle Fire has generated since it was first announced. The company also plans to ship the Kindle Touch and Kindle Touch 3G eReaders tomorrow – six days ahead of schedule.
There’s a hard 
and fast rule in the gaming world: Never bet against Nintendo. That’s still true, despite the Wii’s ugly tumble from the top and the underwhelming rollout of the 3DS – but if you’re a gambler, this might be the time to hedge those bets.
The Wii U, Nintendo’s own next big wager, is likely still more than a year away from hitting stores, but the number of hurdles it’s going to have to clear in order for it to be a success are growing at an alarming rate.
Amazon has declared 
war against Apple — and a few other companies — announcing a slew of new products at a New York press event Wednesday morning.
As expected, the online retail giant has unveiled plans to release a tablet computer, called Amazon Kindle Fire. The 7-inch device will cost just $199, a price point that’s likely to make it a hot holiday gift item. Shipments are scheduled to begin Nov. 15.
