Sneak Peak at the New Kindle

Well, I'm not shocked, but I am slightly disappointed in the leaked views of the new Kindle. It's nice and thin, and with an aluminum back, it'll be rigid which is nice. But there's a lot of 'border' around the screen, and that really increases the size of the unit.

Also missing is any visible sign of the switches for the 3G modem. Maybe it's in software now, which would be nice, but they may also have made it "always on" - we'll have to wait and see.

For now, this is interesting, and supposedly shipping at the end of this month. We'll see what the details are later today and if they can actually make enough of these to satisfy demand.
