Bing announced that its mobile client for Windows Phone will get two cool features. First there’s Bing Vision, the neat feature that turns your phone into a scanner that works with barcodes, CD, DVD and book covers, detecting product information and associated links. Moreover, if you’re scanning some product, Bing provides you with local availability…
Amazon’s highly successful $200 tablet, the Kindle Fire, is set to get a successor sometime this summer. We don’t know much about it, and some are speculating that it’ll have a 10 inch screen, but one thing we can now confirm is that it’ll be made by Foxconn. This is important for two key reasons.…

Good folks of FCC had a chance to play with the Acer Iconia Tab A510, giving it its official seal of approval, effectively making the quad-core tablet ready to be sold on the U.S. soil.
