When we first heard details about the release of Acer’s Iconia Tab A100 WiFi version, you could say we were intrigued by the promise of an Amazon pre-order with Android 3.0 for just £300. You too right? Well, now there is a second version of the seven-inch tablet on Amazon with a May 14 release date, 3G, and a brand new price.

This new version will cost you £400 ($660). Well, you knew that you would have to pay extra for 3G after all. Those Gs add up and they aren’t cheap.

After selling 500,000 units of the Nintendo 3DS handheld on day 1 in Japan, Nintendo has hit another milestone. Amazon UK has announced that they have received more pre-orders for the 3DS than any other gaming console they’ve previously sold.

The Xbox 360, PS3 and the Wii all come in second to Nintendo’s portable glasses-free 3D gaming sensation. They didn’t reveal the exact numbers, but 3DS pre-orders were 20% higher than the PS3, 56% higher than the Wii and 255% higher than the DSi. Looks like the big N has a huge hit on it’s hands.

That black Nintendo Wii bundle that we in the US are not getting is hitting Europe on November 6th has shown up on Amazon UK.

The price is £179.99 but Amazon has it for £164.99, which is about $269. Adding to the mystery of this whole Black Wii saga, the identical bundle in white doesn’t have that £15 discount, but Amazon is sweetening the deal with your choice of two free titles, including FIFA10. There’s still the £142.99 white, non-bundled Wii of course. for a lot less.

Amazon.co.uk is now offering the HTC Hero for pre-order. The Android handset has been listed to retail for £429.99 each. July 15th is the expected shipping date, but nothing is certain so don’t be surprised if the date changes.

At £429.99, that’s a pretty heavy price tag. Converted, we’re talking about $700 or more. Anyone going to bite at that price? They say it will be dispatched and sold by Amazon.co.uk themselves, so we don’t know whether other retailers and the carriers themselves will offer it earlier or later than that date.
