Amazon: the Kindle Keyboard is sticking around
Old habits can be hard to break, and while Amazon made the point pretty clear that it's shifted toward a world of touch controls on its devoted e-readers, the company hasn't completely abandoned the Kindle Keyboard. The reader formerly known as the Kindle 3 is still available on Amazon's page in its 3G form and will continue to be so, at least for the time being, at $139 for the Special Offers version and $189 without. An Amazon spokesperson told us that part of the justification for continuing the offering is the device's accessibility features.

Amazon introduced one last Kindle Fire today, the HD version with LTE capability and 32GB of storage for $499. That's a much better deal than the competition is offering, at least in terms of straight hardware comparisons. People can pre-order that device today, and it ships Nov. 20th. It also comes with a $49.99/year data plan that provides 250 MB of traffic, 20 GB of cloud storage and more. It's a really good value, and CEO Jeff Bezos noted that it runs $410 less than a comparable iPad with data.
