Amazon Cloud Player-Play Your Music Everywhere

March 29, 2011 Tech

The following is featured on amazon.com . It introduces Amazon latest feature the Amazon Cloud Player. The Amazon Cloud Player gives current users 5GBs of storage on their Cloud Drive. There are additional plans one can buy ranging from 20GBS-1000GBS. Mainly this storage is used for,but not limited to, music. You are then able to access the music( or other files) from your computer or Android device. The Amazon MP3 android app now has an option to access you music on the cloud. This allows you to create you own music streaming player. This is another huge step for amazon. This also gives android a huge advantage. The Prime Instant Video, Amazon Android App Store( with a free app a day), and now Amazon Cloud Player have been huge announcements. I look forward to what amazon has in store for the rest of the year or if they have shown their hands early. I am hoping an app for Prime Instant Videos will be in the future for android. These steps also help with my theory of an android based tablet by Amazon.

UPDATE: If you BuyÂ any album from Amazon MP3 Store, get automatically upgraded to 20GB. Link for more info Click Here.

Amazon Prime Unlimited Streaming

We touched on the rumor and turns out it was true. Amazon today announced they are offeringÂ unlimitedÂ streaming of 5000 Movies and TV shows for their Prime Subscribers at no additional cost. This is a great plus to the already great service of free 2-day shipping that prime member receive as well as optional $4 1 day shipping. I for one am excited to check it out being a Prime member myself. For those interested there is a free 1 month trial. Below is the image of the announcement. Glad to see amazon is adding benefits instead of charging extra. Great job Amazon!

My life without a PC

February 8, 2011 Tech

I have been without a dedicated computer for around six months now. Â The main reason why I decided against getting a new computer for Christmas was my iPod touch. In fact I got a new iPod touch instead. My iPod touch is my dedicated computer. Sure it doesnâ€™t have flash and it canâ€™t do some of the things that a dedicated computer can do, I do miss being able to download some things every now and then. Iâ€™ve spent the last week weighing up the pros and cons of having a dedicated computer instead of or as well as a device like an iPod or iPad. Here is what I came up with.
