Amazon Kindle 2

Pandora's box has been opened and the new Amazon Kindle 2 was waiting for us inside. According to The Boy Genius, who has pictures of the new device, the new Kindle looks pretty good. The article goes on to give some specs on the new device which include some of the following.

• the clickwheel has been replaced by a joystick
• the size is a little wider and a little longer than the original
• the buttons on both sides of the device are a little smaller
• the keyboard has been redesigned
• the old charger has been replaced by a universal mini USB charger

For more information about the new Kindle, check out the article at The Boy Genius.

Knowing that each iteration of new electronic devices, whether it be iPods, iPhones, PSPs, Playstations, Wii's, etc., you get more and more functionality, typically for a lower price (according to Engadget, it could be as low as $249, but we shall see). It will be very interesting to see what the new price tag is for the Kindle 2 once it surfaces on the market. One can only assume that Amazon will try to launch it's new product just in time for the holidays. I, for one, can't wait to see it.

Again, if you haven't checked out the Kindleyet, you need to. It is an amazing device and one that is changing the way we read, learn, and help the environment. Happy Kindling!!!!!
