Amazon’s Kindle 2 has begun arriving in happy gadget freak’s homes this week. Announced on February 9th by Amazon.com founder, Jeff Bezos, the Kindle 2 is reported to have cleaned up some of the style-points that version one suffered from with a thinner, lighter device and boosted internal memory from 512 MB to 2 GB. But the $359 price that Amazon is keeping for the device, many tech writers say it’s still way too high and will get in the way of the device taking off. But now that the devices are showing up, the geek pull toward shiny electronics seems to be taking hold. I know I’m feeling it.
Following the initial announcement the crew at CNET’s Buzz-Out-Loud podcast noted that it was very Apple-like in it’s form, verbiage and “message” control. The promo video/commercial (above) that I saw on Engadget certainly reminded me of an Apple ad. Question is whether Amazon is going to make the same Apple made 25 years ago when they assumed that everyone would pay extra for a revolutionary device (in Apple’s case the original Macintosh). That mistake almost spelled the end of Apple and we would have missed out on all of the revolutionary things Apple has done since then. As an educator and technologist I see a potential with the Kindle that we cannot afford to miss. And it goes way past the Kindle being a shiny new technology thing.
