Amazon rumoured to be developing a US$50 tablet

While Amazon struggles in the high-end market for tablets, they do have a fighting chance with the low-end market. And that is supposedly what they’re banking on with a tablet they plan on releasing for the holidays. According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon plans to out a US$50 tablet with a 6-inch screen. It’ll be half the price of their existing 6-inch Fire HD tablet and even less expensive than their $79 Kindle reader. As for what they can pack into a real cheap tablet, we don’t know yet. It might compromise the quality but we can’t say for sure. We’d just have to wait and see.

A more expensive Apple TV is reportedly coming your way

There have been countless rumours about the upcoming Apple TV. The latest report claims it’ll integrate motion control. And with all the added features that’ll supposedly be shipping with it, it comes as no surprise that it’ll be more expensive. According to sources of 9to5mac, the next set-top box from Apple will retail for around US$149 - $199 and it’ll come out in October. But there are also claims that the third-generation Apple TV will still be around so you can still spend less than $100 on that.
