Kindle Fire HD Is Now Available For Australians
When we reviewed the Kindle Fire HD last year, we were bitterly disappointed. Mainly because it was a good little device that just didn’t have any of the great Amazon features available for Australians. That’s about to change, however, with the news overnight that Amazon will make the Kindle Fire HD available for shipping to Australia. Hurrah!
Lunchtime Deal: iPod Touch 8GB $178
The entry-level iPod Touch is one of those products that regularly sees small price drops below Apple’s “official” selling price of $219, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen any retailer willing to take a larger hit on it. Big W’s current special sees it selling for $178; combined with a current free shipping promotion, this is a decent deal if you wanted an entry level iOS device. [Big W]
New iPad Goes On Sale First In Australia [Video]
Bring on the Lamingtons, Australia got the new iPad first! Too bad it doesn’t do 4G here. Maybe that’s why queues were clearly down. Gizmodo hit the streets of Sydney for Telstra’s midnight opening, while just across the road Apple faithful quietly considered an unexpected twist. Buy a $30 Telstra prepaid stater pack and they could grab the iPad outright (not on a plan) long before Apple opens at 8am. What’s an iPad camper to do?
Big W Confirms iPad Availability, Midnight Launches

Lunchtime Deals: Big W 10% Off Everything Sale Tonight For Everyday Rewards Customers
Big W already compete pretty well when in comes to tech, but tonight only the company is offering an additional 10 per cent off store wide for Everyday Rewards customers. It’s only at a handful of stores and only for a limited time tonight, but the conditions don’t seem to exclude any real tech purchases, which could make for some good savings. [Big W via OzBargain]
Lunchtime Deal: Seagate Expansion 2TB Drive $88
Hard drive prices are creeping upwards rather rapidly, so if you need storage, it’d be wise to buy now. Big W’s advertising a special on the Seagate 2TB external expansion drive for $88 until tomorrow. A few months ago that might have been unremarkable; now it’s quite cheap. [Big W]
