It has now been MSN and Microsoft is not directly those who have already developed and offer a Messenger application for the iPhone and iPod touch.

In this implementation we will have support for emoticons, share photos, and even can send voice notes, basics of desktop client.

The application was developed by MSN China so only available for that country, although it is expected that during this month appears Microsoft’s official application and that it is available to everyone.

The announcement not only means that Spanish publishers now have the door open Amazon but also self-published authors who want and reach across the globe without leaving home and without having to be blessed in advance by a publisher can publish their books online thanks to Kindle Digital Text Platform. Like MySpace for years became one of the key platforms for self-promotion from unknown parties, Amazon now allows any author to publish his own book online and sell it at your bookstore. ”We are pleased to offer more languages in which content owners can offer their books for the Kindle growing audience,” the company said in a statement released yesterday. Just have a customer account at Amazon and can prove ownership of copyright in order to upload to the virtual library’s own work. On its website describes step by step how to do and how to resolve any doubts.

Amazon’s announcement comes just days after important news for the market of e-book: the entry of 40,000 titles from Amazon in the world of Blackberries. With that decision, and marketing with the same titles for iPhone, Amazon starts to open trade horizons beyond Kindle. Following the successful presentation of the iPad, the e-reader from Apple, which presumably will become the main competitor to the Kindle, Amazon has chosen not to close down and open your store e-books to other digital tools. Both iPhone and blackberries are much more ubiquitous today than digital readers and despite efforts to commercialize e-reader, remains to be seen what the gadget who wins the battle and imposing on the rest.
