It's Thursday, April 21st, I'm Natali Morris and it's time to get loaded.

今天是4月21日周四,我是Natali Morris,是时候接收今天的最新科技资讯了。

Amazon announced kindle library lending. This lets you borrow books from over eleven thousand libraries in the US. You can use this with any kindle product, either the kindle app on your smart phone or your pc, you tablet or an actual kindle. You can make notes in the books and the notes will be yours to keep even after you returned these books. This feature will launch later this year.

亚马逊推出Kindle产品的图书免费借阅服务。这项功能支持美国用户从1万1千多部书里借阅书籍。不管是智能手机还是笔记本电脑,或者是Kindle阅读器,用户可以通过任何一款Kindle产品使用这项服务。用户还可以在阅读的时候做笔记,即使归还了图书,笔记也可以保留下来。这项服务将于今年晚些时候开始实施。

Toshiba will be launching it's first tablet running Google Android operating system in June. We saw this tablet at CES in January, but now we have real information about it. It will run Android 3.0 and cost a little over 700 dollars. When it launchs, first in Japan and then overseas shortly after. It's a 10 inch tablet with a LED backlit screen, two cameras, HDMI and 16 gates of storage.

东芝将于六月发布首款运行谷歌安卓系统的平板电脑。我们曾在1月的消费电子展上提到过,但现在我们有了确切的消息。这款平板电脑运行的是安卓3.0系统,售价700美元出头。它将首先在日本发售,不久后将在其他地区发售。这款平板电脑采用的是10英寸LED背光式屏幕,装有两个摄像头,配有HDMI和16G储存量。

EBay announced the acquisition of where.com. This is a local advertising company that specializes in mobile phone ads. EBay did not disclose the terms of the deal but they did say the acquisition should happen in the second quarter of this year.

易趣宣布收购where.com网站。这是一家专门从事手机广告业务的广告公司。易趣并没有公开交易的具体条款,但他们表示收购将定于今天第二季度进行。

Goggle launched something called Goggle Earth Builder. This helps small businesses store geographic data on Google servers. It is a lot like Google docs for your maps. I don't suspect this will be a huge consumer hit, but some government agencies or companys that deal with special information could find this handy, it will help avoid expensive mapping software.

谷歌发布了一款名为Earth Builder的应用。这款应用将帮助你通过谷歌地图得到路边小店的信息。他们就类似于地图版本的Google docs。如果这款应用受到用户热捧我并不会惊讶,但一些专门处理特殊信息的政府机关或公司会觉得这款应用太过方便了,它将延缓未来地图软件的开发。

GameFly won a case against the US postal service. Two years ago the game rental company claimed that the post office was discriminating against them by charging extra for postage and not giving them the same preferential treatment that Netflix gets for their discs. The postal service now has to establish two parallel rate categories for round trip discs that would not be subject to surcharge when they are returned.

GameFly打官司胜诉美国邮政行业。两年前,这家游戏租赁公司宣布相关邮政部门对其有歧视行为,因为邮政部门向其收取额外邮费而不给予等同于Netflix公司磁盘业务同样的优先权。现在相关邮政行业已经为其建立了两种平行规则,往返运送的磁盘在回程超载的情况下不会再被拒绝运输了。

That's your news of the day, I'll see you tomorrow. I'm Natali Morris with CNet, and you've just been loaded.

以上就是今天的最新资讯,我们明天再见。我是Natali Morris,感谢您的收看。
