Amazon's Kindle Fire shipped 4m devices in Q4 to become the world's number two tablet, trailing behind the iPad.However, it isn't just the tablet PC market the Fire has had an impact on, according to Digitimes.
e-book shipments reached nine million in Q4 and although a dip is usually expected after Christmas, the devices are thought to reach shipments of just two million in Q1.
Digitimes puts this down to the successful sales of the Amazon tablet, which has been its bestseller for 16 weeks, in turn affecting the sale of its Kindle e-readers.
Additionally Digitimes says annual shipments of e-readers will top 60 million by 2015, compared to the 22.8 million shipped in 2011.

We've got good news for anyone intrigued by the new (largely incremental) features of Apple's latest mobile OS update. MuscleNerd, famed iOS meddler, has confirmed that iOS 5.1 can be jailbroken to the original iPad, iPhone 4 and 3rd and 4th generation iPod Touch devices. Unfortunately, it's still a tethered jailbreak which means you'll need to "just boot" the device using redsn0w whenever it powers down. However, we're sure those iOS hackers are already working on that minor niggle. Get the full instructions and those ever-important warnings over at Think iOS, which also links to the required iOS 5.1 files.

[Bjørn] combined some aging electronics he had around the house to create this Android media center. The enclosure is an FM-radio, but since he only listens to online media it wasn’t of much use to him. After sizing it up he realized it was a perfect candidate to receive his old HTC Hero Android phone.
The upper portion of the stock radio used to host controls for tuning the FM dial, adjusting volume, and switching the unit on and off. He cracked open the case, ditching the radio receiver and patching in to the amplifier. The volume knob was moved to the right side of the case, and a hole cut to receive the phone. Audio is pulled from the phone with the jack sticking out the left side. We’d love to see a future improvement using a right-angle jack (kind of like this charging hack) or patched directly into the phone’s circuit board. This way everything would fit inside the box.
Now he can listen to Internet radio, or stream some video like in the clip after the break.

Apple won a major patent for its 'iWallet' technology, which is a digital system that uses near-field communication (NFC) technology to complete credit card transactions and manage subsidiary financial accounts directly on your iPhone. On the home screen for iWallet, users can see their entire credit card profiles, statements, messages from their banks, and even adjust preferences or add additional cards. Within preferences, users can schedule credit card payments and set parental controls on their children, which allows kids to use their iPhones as wallets but limits the extent to which they can use it. Users can track their payments and statements within the iTunes billing system, which keeps the credit card information safe and secure."

Unreal Engine programmer says customers should be given performance options on smartphones
The increasingly disparate range of smartphone hardware means that PC-like settings would be an elegant solution to performance scaling, a developer at Epic Games has said.
Niklas Smedberg (pictured), a senior engine programmer at the Infinity Blade company, told attendees at GDC that mobile “is the new PC” in terms of diversity of GPU, CPU and memory specs.
“On just iOS alone you still have a wide range of different devices and different performances to cover,” he said.
Because of the disparity in hardware, everything on iOS has to be built with the lowest settings in mind, Smedberg added.
“On Xbox 360 you can try and get everything out of the console, but on mobile you have to scale performance for a wide range of device. So, to be future proof, it would be nice to have PC-style settings.”

Google's rebranding of the Android Marketplace has resulted in widespread confusion as millions of smartphones around the world replace the usual icon with far less descriptive Google Play.
Androidcommunity.com reported that the site had received "tons of comments, tips and emails" to the effect that the Android Market had "gone missing" with the belief that their phone no longer had the ability to download applications.
Punters could be forgiven for missing Google's announcement of the corporate rebranding exercise that will see the Marketplace and various US-only content shops appear under the Google Play banner. Even more so an indistinct set of icons have shown up, one called 'Play Store'.
In this day and age, many users probably mistook it for the usual sort of random bloatware shovelled on by mobile operators.
The fact that productivity apps can now be found under the 'Play Store', with a suitably music/video play-like icon, would certainly seem to be a significant shift in semantic obviousness towards the 'wtf' end of the scale.
It's curious that the same company has been bombarding millions of people worldwide about the now-in-effect consolidated privacy agreement across dozens of Google web services, yet it couldn't manage an explanatory pop-up on Android handsets.

200,000 of them optimised for iPad.
The figures were divulged at another triumphant product update from the Cupertino firm last night.
Apple CEO Tim Cook proclaimed that his firm has both feet planted in the post-PC future, and the wild success of its less-than-four-year-old app store is evidence that Apple is leading the charge.
Apps offer a new form of software distribution and are designed to work on phones and tablets. As such they have eclipsed the old-school CD-ROM model for shipping software to PCs.
The Apple App Store now comprises 200,000 apps for the iPad, which has only been around for two years. At the weekend, Apple confirmed lifetime downloads for the store had passed the 25 billion mark.
In all, Apple has sold 315 million iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches, with 62 million of these iOS-powered devices being sold in Q4 2011 alone and 172 million in 2011.
Tim Cook said the 15.4 million iPads sold during the quarter beat the sales performance of nearly every other major PC manufacturer during that same time period.

Throwing it against a wall, dropping it down the loo and driving over it are prime methods.
New research from comparison site GoodMobilePhones shows over a third of the UK has purposely damaged their phone in order to upgrade early.
It's probably not so surprising, given that most UK operators tie subscribers into a two-year contract, by which time the user may well have had enough of their device.
However, just 12 per cent of those that had damaged their phone intentionally successfully received an early upgrade, demonstrating a solid reluctance of networks willingly parting with devices ahead of schedule. That, of course, means 88 per cent are left with a broken handset, unless they buy their own upgrade.
43 per cent chose to through their phone against a wall to achieve destruction, while 28 per cent elected to dropping it in the toilet.
Additionally, 18 per cent went to the extreme of driving over their phone, as other answers including jumping on it and putting it for a spin in the washing machine.

Part of the firm's strategy to grant more mobile devices with PlayStation certification.
Sony's PlayStation Suite SDK will be available in open beta form for small and large content developers alike in April, enabling them to create content for open OSs on PlayStation certified devices.
The open beta version has been improved based on requests from original closed tests and will rollout beyond Japan, the US and the UK this time.
Sony plans to accelerate the expansion of PlayStation certified devices, which supports our report that the firm may grant HTC approval to make PlayStation smartphones and tablets.
The full version of the SDK will be available by the end of the year, allowing developers to make sales in the PlayStation Store on a commercial basis, while the annual subscription will cost $99.
Additionally, speculation has circulated about PlayStation Vita becoming an open platform for mobile devices and this could be the start of the transition.

The Xbox Live Indie Games Companion app we first reported earlier this month is now available on Windows Phone. The app allows for easy browsing of Xbox Live Indie Games, including information, screens and links for each game. The app will even point users to Xbox Live Marketplace, where XBLIG demos or even full games can be purchased directly from their phone. Honestly, the XBLIG Companion looks like a much easier way of finding indie games than on Xbox Live Marketplace itself.
Windows Phone users can nab the app now for the reasonable price of no dollars. Developer Eat Studios notes that iOS and Android versions of the app "should be available in the near future."

So, what'd you have in the office pool? iPad 3, iPad 2S, iPad HD? Doesn't matter, really. All that matters is that it's here! This is the next generation of Apple's iOS slate and, as usual, she's a beaut -- and yes, she's still rockin' a physical button. As was rumored this thing is packing a Retina display, potentially making this the most pixel-packed slate on the market. The 9.7-inch screen plays host to 3.1 million pixels in a 2048 x 1536 arrangement -- that's 264ppi. It's not just a higher resolution though, the screen also boasts improved color saturation. Of course, what would a new iPad be without some updated guts. The new model has an A5X processor and quad-core graphics chip. Apple even claims its newest sliver of silicon can deliver four times the performance of a Tegra 3 -- we'd say dems fightin' words.
There's also a new iSight camera on board that's quite similar to the version inside the iPhone 4S. It's only five-megapixels, but it does have a backside illuminated sensor with a five element lens. It's also capable of capturing 1080p video, which should come as no surprise. We're also excited to see the keyboard sporting a brand new dictation key that lets you speak instead of type -- yes, just like on Android. The new software inside will also let you use the slate as a portable WiFi hotspot... so long as the carriers are game. It even has the ability to recognize at least some bezel gestures, as revealed during its iPhoto demo.
Perhaps most exciting though, is the new connectivity options -- you guessed, LTE! The new iPad is sporting 21Mbps HSPA+, but it's also rocking an LTE radio capable of pulling down 73Mbps on both Verizon and AT&T here in the US. Outside of the states Rogers, Bell and Telus will also be scoring 4G flavors of the iOS tablet. Amazingly enough, even with an LTE antenna on board, Apple is still claiming to get 10 hours of battery life. That's probably partially do to the slightly increased weight of 1.4lbs, though the 9.4mm thickness is nothing to sniff at.
The new iPad will be available March 16th, starting at $499 for the 16GB WiFi model and scaling up to $829 for the 64GB version with 4G. So, on the price front, nothing has changed. Pre-orders start today in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia, with much of the rest of the globe to follow on March 23rd. For more details hit up the PR after the break.

Ever since Siri showed up on the iPhone 4S, she's been put to work in a variety of non-Apple approved ways and unofficially ported to other iDevices, including the iPad. Now Apple's next-gen iPad has made its auspicious debut in San Francisco with a splash of Siri on board. It's not the full voice assistant, but the new tablet does have voice dictation software that supports US English, British, Australian, French, German and Japanese. Not only that, but the dictation feature is available in third-party apps as well, so you'll be able to speak your tweets and status updates on Apple's new slate.

Apple's busy introducing a whole bunch of new apps to go along with its shiny new iPad, and iPhoto is near the top of the list. The "reinvention" of the iconic photo software will be available today for $4.99, and offers a plethora of features, such as bezel gestures, effects, multi-touch editing and direct beaming. You can also easily tweak white balance, exposure and saturation, and you can add geotags, notes and captions. Another highlight of the new iPhoto is the Journal, which allows you to pick and choose certain images to push to iCloud for web viewing. Interestingly, the announcement comes right on the heels of Adobe's competitive offering.
To complete the circle of iLife at today's event, Apple announced significant updates to iWork, iMovie and Garage Band. iWork's refresh utilizes the new iPad's Retina display and offers 3D charts, and each individual app -- Keynote 1.6, Numbers 1.6 and Pages 1.6 -- will be ready for purchase today for $9.99 (or free, if you already have the apps). Next up is iMovie, available for $4.99, which now offers the ability to turn your HD movies into trailers and adds a few more advanced editing tools. Finally, Garage Band introduces a new feature called Jam Session, which lets you and three of your friends connect iOS devices together wirelessly and play together in real-time. Just as before, newbies can get the updated app for $4.99.

Facing soaring demand for budget tablets (and one in particular), Apple has announced it will sell theiPad 2 alongside the new iPad, with last year's model tumbling to a more palatable price of $399 for the WiFi-only model, or $529 for the 3G version. That entry-level price in particular puts it in more direct competition with a slew of mid-range tabs that previously undercut the iPad, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and others. Specifically, though, Tim Cook & Co. hope that lower price will attract not just thrifty consumers, but schools looking to issue iPads in large numbers -- a move that dovetails with the release of iBooks textbooks and the iBooks Author OS X app earlier this year.
Though this is the first time the company's offering two iPads at once, this strategy is old hat for Apple, which has long been taking that tack to sell more iPhones. What's notable is that usually the trade-off (aside from year-old specs) has been that users have had to settle for devices with minimal built-in storage, which you naturally can't expand with a memory card, this being an iDevice and all. In this case, though, the iPad 2 will still be offered with 16GB of built-in storage, as opposed to, say, eight gigs. Still, depending on the size of your library, this might be a good time to get acquainted with iCloud, if you haven't already.

Here she is -- the iPad HD! Er, new iPad. Breaking away from the numerical tracking system used before (and still used in the iPhone range), Apple has decided to highlight the most major change in its newest slate by simply dubbing it "new." By and large, the new guy is the same as the old guy (Home button included), but with a few nice amenities that could very well convince OG iPad owners to upgrade. Upon touching the HD variant, it's not the overall form factor that grabs us -- it's the screen. Given that we're unashamed Pixel Density Enthusiasts 'round these parts, seeing a 2,048 x 1,536 resolution display in the same area as the prior 'Pads is stunning. Nearly two months ago to the day, ASUS wowed our entire CES trailer with a reported 1,920 x 1,200 display on the TF700T; this, however, is something that really needs to be ogled to truly appreciate. In fact, the first viewing conjured up familiar feelings -- ones that came to light when placing the iPhone 4 beside the iPhone 3G for the first time.
Unsurprisingly, Apple has managed to produce something that's truly beautiful to look at, and while we've yet to see the full potential of having this many pixels on a 9.7-inch slate, we're guessing a cadre of game developers are already hard at work in order to remedy that. Beyond being dazzling from a density standpoint, colors are sharp and accurate, and viewing angles are predictably ridiculous; even taking a peek from an extreme side angle gives way to a fairly solid image with next to no washout.

Well, it looks like we didn't have to wait long for that iOS 5.1 update promised for today. The update is already rolling out to iPhones, iPads and compatible iPod touches. That brings with it a number of improvements and bug fixes, including the previously-announced Japanese language support for Siri, a redesigned camera app for iPad, the ability to delete individual photos from Photo Stream and, somewhat curiously, an "updated AT&T network indicator." What's more, as previously rumored, the camera shortcut is now also always visible on the lock screen for iPhone and iPod touch users.
Update: As a number of commenters have pointed out, it turns out that update to the AT&T network indicator is a change to display "4G" in the status bar, even though the device's connectivity of course remains the same speed as ever.

See that? That's the first shot we've been able to secure using the new iPad and its "iPhone 4S-esque" sensor. For those unaware, it's rocking a five megapixel sensor and plenty of niceties grabbed from the 4S, and the shot here is entirely unedited in any way. To be honest, it's pretty impressive given the exceptionally challenging lighting situation that we were facing in this here room, with a well-lit backdrop and a poorly lit foreground. Looking for the full resolution version to pore over? Hit up the source link, and forgive us if it loads upside-down.
