Amazon Kindle (2007)
On November 19, 2007, Amazon launched its first e-book reader, the Amazon Kindle. Its price at the time was $399, and the reader sold out within an incredible 5,5 hours of going on sale - it was then only available at the end of April of the following year. The Amazon Kindle reader was equipped with a six-inch display with four levels of gray, and its internal memory was only 250MB. Amazon introduced the second generation of its readers less than two years later.
Nintendo Wii (2006)
On November 19, 2006, the Nintendo Wii game console went on sale in North America. The Wii was the fifth game console from Nintendo's workshop, it was among the seventh generation game consoles, and its competitors at the time were the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, which offered better performance, but the main attraction of the Wii was control with the help of the Wii Remote. The WiiConnect24 service, in turn, allowed for automatic downloads of emails, updates and other content. The Nintendo Wii eventually became one of Nintendo's most successful consoles, selling more than 101 million units.
Nintendo Wii in November 2009 in North America, I don't think :) - I was in the US already in the summer at that time, and it was already on the market some Friday and we had it at home!
