Yesterday, Amazon announced that they will be releasing a new WiFi-only Kindle very soon. It’s extremely tempting at just $139, especially when you consider the upgraded features – a new electronic-ink screen with 50% better contrast than other eBook readers, a sleek and slimmer design, and a lighter device overall at just 8.7 ounces. This new Kindle will also double the storage to 3,500 books and offers 20% faster page turns. And of course, there’s the built-in WiFi that allows you to shop and download new titles in just 60 seconds. The Kindle WiFi also comes with the new WebKit-based browser so you can visit your favorite haunts on the web.

Although the 3G WiFi Kindle is still available and priced at $189, I think the built-in WiFi connectivity will prove far more useful to most users. The Kindle WiFi is currently available for pre-order on Amazon and will be shipping to over 140 countries starting August 27, 2010.

Built for social butterflies, the Nokia C3 offers instant access to your favorite social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter straight from the homescreen, allowing people to easily view, post, comment and update their status.

And, for only Php 20 a day, SMART subscribers can do unlimited chat, email, Facebook and Twitter on Nokia Messaging. One can avail of the free 7-day trial by texting NOKIA TRIAL to 6677.

When I first posted the one day promo, the response was overwhelming. Friends wanted the hot pink cellphone. Obviously everyone wants a good-looking, affordable handset that allows them to stay continually connected.

Email and chat accounts can be set up straight from the device, without the need for a PC.

With a two-megapixel camera, the Nokia C3 is great for taking pictures and videos which can be instantly shared online, straight from the device, via GPRS or Wi-Fi. You can store up to 8GB of pictures, music and videos by purchasing an optional memory card.
