Amazon Says Kindle Sales Topping 1 Million Devices a Week
Video games are starting to pop up everywhere. They are on our home consoles, handheld systems, mobile phones and are now invading tablets as well. To ignore the fact that tablet devices such as Apple’s insanely popular iPad or Amazon’s new Kindle Fire are indeed bonafide gaming machines would be a bit ignorant and gaming companies by the droves are starting to port many of their classic franchises on these wildly popular devices.
Amazon.com Inc., the world’s largest online retailer, said customers have purchased about 1 million of its Kindle e-book readers and tablets in each of the past three weeks and the number will only increase coming into the holiday season. Selling that many devices (not to mention its plethora of Kindle Cover and other accessories) has made gaming companies take note and has become a major focus for them in the coming year.

Gamestop Wants Your Apple iDevices
Starting today at select Gamestop stores you will now be able to do trade-ins with Apple iDevices such as iPhones, iPods and iPads.

WiiWare Gem “Lost Winds” Headed to Mobile Devices
In case you missed the two LostWinds games for WiiWare (shame on you by the way), you will soon have two more choices for platform on which to play them: iOS and Android.
During the Develop conference, Frontier Developments head David Braben revealed that the WiiWare platformers are being ported to iPad, iPhone, and Android, with the D-pad/Wiimote pointer controls replaced by a virtual pad and touch-based wind controls. Seems like a perfect fit if you ask me…
LostWinds for iOS and Android will be released later this year.
Official Pokemon App Headed to AppStores
Nintendo and Game Freak are officially releasing aPokémon app for the AppStore and the Android Market in the near future.
The app, Pokémon Say Tap? BW, uses music and on screen Pokémon cards in a timing game. The free app is slated to be out this summer, making it the first Pokémon game to appear on non-Nintendo hardware.
This marks the first time an official Nintendo franchise will be making an appearance on a smartphone.
Super Street Fighter Volt now on iOS
First mentioned during a recent Capcom event in Tokyo, Super Street Fighter Volt is now available for download on iTunes. The game adds Wi-Fi support for head-to-head matches online and three new fighters to the original cast: Balrog, Vega and Cody. The mobile version of Street Fighter 4 (I should say cell phone version) now has a total of 17 fighters.
Right now you can snag Volt for a buck, but over the course of the next week, Capcom will raise the price of the game each day by one dollar. On July 6, the game will have its price locked in at $6.99.

Accessory Review: The Logic 3 Leather Stand Case for iPad 2
Whether it be Macbook Pro Accessories, protection for my Nintendo 3DS, iPad and iPad 2 Accessories, our technology always seems better fitted while complimented with some sort of accessory. They protect the device, provide support and typically sleek up our technology. Recently my Logic 3 Leather Stand Case (pictured above) arrived for my iPad 2 and I am thrilled to report that this iPad 2 case will replace my Apple branded smart cover that has been on my iPad 2 since launch. The Logic 3 Leather Stand Case provides more protection for my expensive device, looks sleek, and serves its purpose. How well do we rate this case?

Has Apple just entered the home console race?
If you have yet to play a game from an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch), you are really missing out on some fantastic games. Titles like Zenonia (very reminiscent of Zelda SNES and features over 20 hours of gameplay), Angry Birds, Infinity Blade, Fruit Ninja, The Creeps, Pocket Legends and Rolando (just to name a few), are outstanding games and help solidify Apple as a major player when it comes to the gaming industry.
Take a look at the video below. It’s an iPad 2 user using the “mirroring” feature that will be found in iOS 5 and essentially turns his $99 Apple TV, into a home gaming console. This has tremendous possibilities and I cannot wait to see how this plays out. Check out the video and let me know what you guys think:
