Kindle coming to Windows Mobile

So claims the tea-leave readers at Businessweek, who are looking at Amazon’s Kindle strategy and clues from their job postings.

Windows Mobile users have been missing out on many services which Amazon has provided to other smartphone OS’s, such as the Amazon MP3 store on Android or the Kindle app for the iPhone.

Amazon has however been expanding its team of mobile engineers and also gaining outside help from acquisitions. The goals may be to sell new programs that can run on Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader, make Amazon’s digital titles available for more devices, and ring up revenue from sales of mobile applications, say several software executives and analysts.

An executive at one mobile-phone software vendor also says Amazon may be considering making its Kindle mobile bookstore available for a greater range of handheld computers. In March the store became accessible via an iPhone app.

Amazon lists 17 open mobile-related positions on its Web site, including for software engineers, a senior product manager for mobile payments, and a director of mobile applications. One job ad says Amazon expects its hire to "develop partnerships with mobile companies." Another posting seeks applicants who can write programs for Microsoft’s (MSFT) Windows Mobile operating system.

Amazon declined to comment on its mobile-software ambitions. "We don’t discuss future plans or developments," spokeswoman Cinthia Portugal says in an e-mail to Businessweek.

Twikini: Twitter Client for Windows Mobile

As alot of you may know I am holding on to my Motorola Q with Windows Mobile 5.  Needless to say I am behind the times....even in WinMo terms I am behind the times.  They're on 6.1 and 6.5 should be out by the end of the year.  I have little RAM, ROM, and storage card capacity(2gb).  I am on Twitter as many of you should know as well and when it comes to mobile updates a Twitter client is the way I go.  Tiny Twitter is good and so is Pocket Tweet but they both take up too much.  Too much RAM, too much processor power and too much storage space.  Thats why I use Twikini.   My favorite features are Tweet is the left softkey button, and as sipmle as this seems it is the only one to let you tweet without going into a menu first.  I am also a huge fan of seeing the TwitPic posts in the tweets instead of having to click a link.

Lessons from Mom

My mom was the greatest that ever lived.  She taught me through our date of fries and sundaes that having fun sometimes is the most important thing, and that fries taste good dipped in ice cream.  She also taught me that standing up for your convictions, like someone committing animal abuse is worth kicking ass even if your children are watching, is a lesson worth being taught.  Retard is not a word that's an acceptable replacement for stupid, and that even the mentally challenged know that.    Selfconfidence isn't in everybody, but its your job to give it to them.  Coffee for 75 cents is worth a 3 dollar tip.  Friends really stick by you through everything even when you least expect it.  A person can cry for you to the point that it hurts and that grief brings you to your knees. When you deserve to have your ass kicked you should and when you do she wont stop it till you have.  It really does hurt her as much as it hurts you.  Biggest fans do exist.    I love you mom.......

Are you a Hipster?

To some extent I would say that I have an affinity for things Hipster; Indie music, thrifted clothes, bright colors, flannel, being ironic.  Just kidding on that last one.  That being said this people who talk like this are idiots
