Amazon’s Kindle 2 Leaked

Boy Genius leaked one of the most talked about gadgets in the blogosphere – Kindle 2.
Amazon earlier denied rumors that they are offing the upgrade to Kindle, but when photos of the said gadget appeared on the BoyGeniusRepot.com it is almost impossible for Amazon to disprove it.

The original Kindle received a few thumbs down, thanks to its homely design and inappropriate button placement. This apparently is now solved. The Kindle 2 sports a new design including a new shape. The color however apparently did not change, but enthusiasts are hoping for Amazon to release color variants.

Sources indicated that Kindle 2 is almost the same size as the original. One major difference though is in its thickness. The modern version appears to e thinner. It is powered by EV-DO network for downloads.

It is also equipped with new features such as a new miniUSB port, allowing it to charge from laptops and computers. There is also a sliding sleep button and a headphone jack. Speakers are place at the back of the unit.

As of this writing, there is no date as to when the unit will be available in the market.
