Kindle !

First go check this out : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FI73MA/ref=kinw_dp_gy/104-5571770-1350361

Its Amazon's new electronic book reader - i dunno, for the lack of a better phrase - il probably just call it - the 'killer gadget' for the genre.

Just like Visicalc opened up a concept of business software or to cite a more recent example - what ipod did to music on the go - Kindle is going to do it for reading

I mean - you may think - what the hell can beat plain old paper & newsprint - Do look up the demo first and then mouth off.

The bad part is - It uses, i dunno, 3G or something and sold ONLY in the US for now - but fuck, it looks great !

I was having a discussion with C the other night - about convergence - about how one small gadget will be like an all in all - computer cum phone cum entertainment cum reader etc. - but i suspect thats atleast a decade away.

So like today - a Nice cool Apple Ibook, I pod for music , A small slick digicam & a nice blackberry and now the Kindle - will just about round off everything thats needed to have a good time :)

Although i can only watch and drool ! :)
