[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]OK prediction time, this will be the Kindle replacement.Kindles have been reduced and reduced in price and no revision has happened for a while, but they have had an advertising campaign for a while.They have been shifting old stock.This will have no huge processing power and will pretty much be a web browser and kindle reader, with a colour screen. It will have minimal storage but will have an SD card slot and will be able to play music and videos.Best of all, it will be dirt cheap and will support flash.Prediction over, now lets wait and see.[/citation]
I hope it's not a Kindle replacement. Kindle's may not be tablets, but the screen and the e-ink that the Kindle uses make reading one practically the same as reading a book. As good as the iPad's screen is, it still isn't quite as good.
Perhaps the reason there is no new version is because one isn't needed. A device designed for a single purpose that has capabilities to do a limited number of other things doesn't need a new version very often when it does those things right. The only real improvement a Kindle could use would be an SD slot, however, considering the size of ebooks, the built in memory is quite sufficient.
