Amazon Appstore for Android Test Drive
When Amazon Appstore for Android launched last week, one of its primary features -- Test Drive -- was disabled just a few minutes after it opened. With no try-before-you-buy, no refund process, and 1-Click purchasing ready to strike at any moment, this caused some problems. Anyway, don't despair: Test Drive is now enabled.

Founder Office Hours With Chris Dixon And Josh Kopelman: Dispatch.io

If you have a product that could potentially appeal to everyone, how do you pick which customers to go after first? In this episode of Founder Office Hours with investors Chris Dixon and Josh Kopelman, Dispatch.io founder Jesse Lamb asks whether his file-sharing service should focus first on early adopters, consumers, or small businesses. Kopelman suggests, "You are going to reach them all the same way. A big believer in the "consumerization of the enterprise,", he says, "I am not sure you would do anything fundamentally different if you are going after a small business or a consumer."

Sony PS Vita To Launch Only In Japan This Year, US & Europe To Get The Portable in 2012

ps-vita-004-19441I hope you didn't have the PS Vita on your Christmas list this year. Sony's next-gen portable is going to reach the States or Europe until next year per an AP interview with Sony Corp. Executive Deputy President Kazuo Hirai. The executive acknowledged that missing the holiday season is going to be costly, "That's when you do half your year's sales," he said. "This is going to prove painful for Sony." Sony finally took all the wraps of the PS Vita at E3 back in June after months of teasing. It's truly an amazing portable and packed with tons of features. Mr. Hirai agrees and jabbed at the recent Nintendo 3DS price cut by stated "There is no need to lower the price just because somebody else that happens to be in the video game business decided that they were going to lower their price." Zing!
