Amazon Launches Instant Video For Nintendo Wii

via techcrunch.com

If you own a Wii, you were probably a little bummed out to hear that Amazon would be serving up Instant Video to the Wii U and not to your older console.

But fret no longer, as Amazon has just announced that its library of streaming video content is now available to Wii owners.

Amazon’s Instant Video library is home to over 145,000 titles, and if you’re a Prime member you have automatic access to over 33,000 titles right off the bat.

Other features you may have grown accustomed to on Amazon’s media streaming platform are also present, including Whispersync, which lets users pick up right where they left off on another device. Like, say, a Kindle Fire.

Whether it is a parking sign that makes no sense, or a menu that is all Greek to you, an app for Android and iPhone could be the solution by translating words on-the-fly with the help of your camera lens.

WordLens uses your phone's inbuilt camera to recognise text that is viewed through the lens, and then translating them to English.

Amazon Instant Video Comes to Xbox 360

via mashable.com

Amazon is making its Instant Video library available to Microsoft Xbox 360 devices, widening the pool of on-demand, streaming video content for Xbox Live Gold subscribers.

Console owners can now browse, rent, purchase and immediately stream some 120,000 movies and TV episodes through Amazon’s Instant Video app in the Xbox Live Marketplace. The addition of the Xbox 360 widens Amazon’s connected device reach. Instant Video is available on the PlayStation 3, Roku and an assortment of Blu-ray players and HDTV sets.

Those who also subscribe to Amazon Prime, a $79-per-year service that offers free two-day shipping on Amazon items among other benefits, will also be able to stream around 17,000 films and TV episodes at no additional charge. That figure will likely grow if the company continues to aggressively sign on more studio partners, a roster that already includes Discovery, Fox, CBS, NBC, Sony, Viacom and Warner Bros.

Ask.com is launching an iPhone app on Thursday that experiments with a new question-and-answer format for the company: quick polls.

The app, Pollroll, makes it easy for users to publish and respond to quick questions, such as “Last night’s shirt, ok to recycle?,” “Where is the best party at tonight?” and “What should I order at Franklin BBQ?” Poll creators designate answer options (respondents also have the option to leave comments) and can include a photo if they choose. After they publish the poll, they can breakout the responses from everyone, people nearby or just their friends.

How To Use Google Sync For iPhone

via businessinsider.com

When you set up your Gmail account on your iPhone for the first time, you probably went with the default "Gmail" settings.

But if you did this, you can't take advantage of "push email," a feature your iPhone includes but doesn't turn on by default. Activating "push email" means that emails will come instantly to your iPhone, just like on your old Blackberry.
