If it feels like we’ve heard about Amazon’s intention to punch through the Japanese wall with Kindle before, it’s because we have. However, if a new report on Reuters via The Nikkei is to be believed, it could finally be getting closer. It’s said that the internet retailer had planned to launch its e-reader line in September, but supply chain problems put paid to that. Now we’re told it’ll land in “early October” with Amazon hurriedly securing Japanese content in time for the busy end of year sales period. The Kindle’s still not out of the woods just yet though, as it’s also been suggested that publishers are being asked to change data formats for their content, which is ripe for causing another bottleneck, should they not comply in time. Sadly, given the history of this tale, we’re not expecting Japanese farm owners to be making any irrational bets just yet.

European carrier sources: Nokia to start selling the Lumia 920 in November (update: coming to AT&T on November 2nd)
Posted in: Today's Chili 
While we heard practically everything else about Nokia’s new Windows Phone 8 flagship, there were still two very important details still missing — its price and release date. Now, according to Reuters‘ “telecom operator” sources, a spokesperson from an unnamed eastern European carrier said that sales of the PureView-packing Lumia 920 will start in the second half of November, with larger countries landing the device earlier in the same month. Another source from a Nordic operator then followed suit, stating that they expected the phone to arrive in stores around mid to late November. We’ve reached out to our contacts, and will update if we hear anything more — especially if it involves a price tag.
Update: It’s being reported that the Lumia 920 will arrive in the US on AT&T’s network November 2nd.

Amazon plans for ‘five or six’ new tablets, will include 10-inch model, says Staples president
Posted in: Today's Chili 
While we expect Amazon to refresh its Kindle Fire tablet sooner rather than later, Demos Parneros, president of US retail for Staples, has told Reuters that the online book-seller has bigger plans. Amazon apparently aims to introduce five or six new devices (or SKUs, stock-keeping units), though as noted by Android Central‘s Phil Nickinson, these could thin out to just two tablet models and several storage variants. According to the exec, the tablets will come in a range of sizes and would include a new ten-inch device — going directly against another popular tablet. No word on whether these five or six device would include a smartphone, as screen sizes get increasingly closer. Amazon has also announced that it’ll be creating a new R&D hub in London, focusing on its services and APIs for TVs, consoles, smartphones and PCs, aimed squarely at rolling these out across the globe. The original Kindle Fire — and its Android app store — is still not available outside of America. However, public plans for the new Amazon base currently center on relocating both Lovefilm and Pushbutton to this new hub. However, it’s been about a year; about time for Europe to get a taste of Amazon’s wallet-friendly tab.
