Kindle 2: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device (Latest Generation)

Say Hello to The New Kindle

Amazon.com is introducing Amazon Kindle 2, the next generation wireless reading device. With a sleek and thin design that makes Kindle 2 as thin as a typical magazine and lighter than a paperpack, the new Kindle has seven times more storage and now holds over 1,500 books. It has a longer battery life and faster page turns. An advanced display provides even crisper images and clearer text for an improved book-like reading experience. And Kindle 2 even reads to you, with “Read to Me”, our new Text to Speech feature.

With Kindle 2, Amazon.com kept everything readers love about the original Kindle—the convenience of reading what you want, when you want it, the immediacy of getting a book wirelessly delivered in less than 60 seconds, and Kindle’s ability to “disappear” in your hands so you can get lost in the author’s words. The Kindle Store has over 230,000 ebooks available.

Here is a learning video that teaches how to use the new Kindle 2.

Emily the CareBot (TM)

I mentioned yesterday on one of my blogs that I would post learning videos and and if you have some to submit them to me. Here is one from a website submitted by Paul A. Ebeling, Jr. The video is from one of the companies featured on stockbully.com. It is quite interesting.




Do you have a learning video? Send to me if it is a training video or one that teaches "how-to" on any subject matter. Do not send videos that are only ads or promo videos.

Google Lattitude Explained




Google just released an upgrade to Google Maps which lets you track the specific location of your employees, family or friends. The service, called Google Lattitude, will also let you contact them by way of SMS, Gmail, or Google Talk. Google Lattitude could have a wide range of uses if you own a business, e.g. you can know exactly where your delivery truck is at; see if your salespeople are actually selling or at the coffee shop. For friends or family members, you can see where your teenager is at or know if she/he made it through the snowstorm or their flight landed safely.

There is some concern about the "Big Brother" syndrome. Google is quick to point out that the service is strictly "Opt In" so no one can be tracked that doesn't want to be tracked.
