Amazon’s Kindle 2.0 Slated for October 2008?
The guys over at Crunchgear announced yesterday that a new version of the Amazon Kindle may ship as early as October 2008.
Garnering their info from an inside source, it is said that the new model will update the original, packing the same screen size into a smaller form factor along with a better interface.
A second, larger model will be seen in time for the holidays, shaped like 8 1/2 x 11-inch piece of paper. Both models will come in a variety of colors (they can’t do much worse than the utilitarian gray featured on the first iteration of the Kindle, can they?) and they are aimed at attracting a younger audience.
Amazon hopes the Kindle will bring digital books and magazines into the mainstream, much like the iPod did for MP3′s years ago.
Expect to see many new and improved features when it’s finally released.
