Let’s guess. I think it’s going to be around Christmas. That’s fast, Amazon. As you can see, Amazon has just announced it’ll be bringing Kindle to the Windows Phone 7 platform sometime “in the coming months.” The app was shown briefly today at Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference (PDC 2010). Well, now you have another reason to get the new Windows Phone 7 handset. You can read your favourite Kindle books on it!

Barnes & Noble included the specs for their Nook Color during launch, but what’s missing at that time was the processor’s detail. But now, we have that, and will complete the list of specs for the Nook Color. Texas Instruments has now confirmed that the Nook Color uses its 800MHz ARM Cortex A8-based, 45nm OMAP3621 processor. What’s more, the processor is actually part of TI’s eBook Development Platform, which the Nook Color also relies on. That’s particularly interesting considering that the processor and platform support a few features that the Nook Color does not, not the least of which is 3G connectivity. Perhaps we might see Barnes & Noble updating their Nook Color with these missing features in the next refresh.

OCZ Technology launched their original RevoDrive some four months ago, and now they’ve announced revision two. Everything (looks, feels, smells, sounds, tastes) is the same, except for the legs. It’s obviously running faster this time. The original is capable of 540MB/s sec, but the X2 pushes that to 740MB/sec and up to 120,000 IOPS — “nearly triple the throughput of other high-end SATA-based solutions.” Furthermore, this guy packs double the SandForce SF-1200 controllers (four versus two in the original), and it retains the onboard RAID 0 design that you’ve come to know and love. It’s available as we speak in 100GB to 960GB capacities, but there’s no mention of the price. Well, let’s just say that if you need to ask, then most probably you can’t afford it. HA!

Microsoft has just surpassed analyst’s expectations by announcing $16.20 billion in revenue for the first quarter of its 2011 fiscal year, with $5.41 billion in profit. Microsoft cites Office 2010, the sustained “PC refresh cycle,” and 38 percent growth in the Xbox 360 biz for its good news, with overall revenue up 25 percent over the same quarter last year and a 51 percent gain in profit.

Well, perhaps their popular gaming console helped a lot. The Xbox 360 has been at the top of the console league for four months running. Moreover, their Windows 7 licenses have been selling very well for its debut year.
