Last week Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) shocked investors with a massive loss. Jeff Bezos’ company ended Q3 2014 with $544 million in the red, a bad loss even for a company that has longed delivered minimal quarterly increases in profits or even small losses.
While Amazon had some other big-ticket investments to explain the half a billion loss (including the acquisition of streaming platform Twitch), market watchers agreed that the bulk of it was owed to the Fire phone.
While the special deals and discounts on apps and games don’t seem to lose traction even with Christmas officially over, the price cuts on Android devices have been rather slim and stingy this holiday season.
But the holiday season is not completely over yet, so we’re glad to see Sprint holding a very original and lucrative sale. The number three carrier in the States is taking $100 off any 4G LTE enabled tablet for all new customers who choose to buy an on-contract smartphone until January 10.
The Amazon Kindle Fire rocked the market by offering consumers a well-priced tablet with decent specs. The device gets even better with the new MIUI 4 ROM running on the device.
XDA Developers member acax456 introduces the new MIUI.us version 4.0.3.2.2.3 for the Kindle Fire. The ROM is based on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich and brings the new Android ICS experience with a twist of MIUI right on your Amazon tablet.
T-Mobile has just announced that its Walmart Family Mobile plans are getting more data for the same price. Starting Saturday, April 18th (tomorrow) you can get the $29.88 per month plan with 1GB of 4G LTE data (up from 500MB) and the $39.88 per month plan with 3GB of 4G LTE data (up from 2.5GB). Each plan still offers unlimited talk and text, and there’s no need for users to sign up for additional data – T-Mobile will automatically bump up the data amount for all customers currently on the plans.
From the slew of Echo products to the new Fire TV with 4K HDR and Alexa support, it’s fair to say that Amazon was busy this past week. With such headline-grabbing announcements, it’s no wonder that something like Amazon announcing its Android-based Fire OS 6 went under the radar.
According to one of Amazon’s developer pages, Fire OS 6 is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat. This means that picture-in-picture (PiP) and the ability to record content on their TV are supported in the new version.
