- Zink slips WiFi-enabled ‘Print’ printer into the FCC’s database
Last time we heard from Zink, it was introducing some sort of digital camera in concert with Lady Gaga. Perhaps not-so-coincidentally, that was unveiled at CES earlier this year. If we’re assuming a yearly refresh cycle, it looks as if the company is planning its next major product launch for CES 2013, judging by a report of a new piece of kit that just surfaced at the FCC today. Simply entitled “Print” (or “Happy Print,” as the documentation occasionally states), the (presumed) printer will support 802.11b/g/n WiFi transfers, though there’s a USB option for those who prefer the tethered route. We also get the feeling it can be powered via an included battery pack, enabling IRL Instagrams to be printed out right there on location. There’s no user guide to speak of, so further functionality is apt to be kept under wraps until its official reveal. If we had to guess, we’d say that day is coming soon rather than later.

- GameStop now stocking Kindle Fire tablets, handing out free virtual bucks with purchase
The Kindle Fire line of tablets is the latest set of electronics to grace GameStop store shelves in the US, the Texas company announced recently. From the baby 7-inch all the way to the larger 8.9-inch, the entire Fire line will be carried in all of GameStop’s 4,400 US-based locations after a successful test run earlier this year with various Android-based tablets — presumably it won’t be too long before discounted, used versions of the tablets become widely available, as GameStop’s offering a $100 in-store credit trade incentive toward the original Kindle Fire. Sadly, you’ll only snag the free $25 Amazon.com gift card (offered through the end of January) if you purchase a brand new Fire, but then there’s always that $50 off sale going on today, right?

Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Lite 5G and Mi 11i get an enthusiastic reception
Last week’s poll shows that camera features and 5G connectivity are key factors when choosing a new phone these days – especially an expensive flagship. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has impressive camera hardware, which earned it a very positive reception by fans. The €1,200 price tag is going to be tough to swallow, though, which is why many were asking about the Mi 11 Pro. Currently, Xiaomi has seemingly no intention to launch the Pro globally, so for most of the world it is not an option. The Mi 11 Ultra is €450 more expensive than the vanilla Mi 11. That one has a fairly large sensor of...
