It's no secret that I love the Amazon Kindle - the electronic book reader made our top 25 lineup of best travel gadgets for 2008, and despite several minor shortcomings, most readers picked it as their favorite gadget as well.

The Kindle has been a massive success - and ever since it was released, it's been fairly hard to get, with shipping often taking about a month.

That is probably not going to improve any time soon, as Amazon just announced the new Kindle 2 - thinner, smarter design, and a host of other new features make this $359 device a clear winner.

In fact, I'd say the new design is so good, that we'll see the "iPhone effect" where many original Kindle owners upgrade to the new version.

The device has a better e-ink display, capable of displaying 16 with battery like dell 8649R battery, dell Inspiron 700m battery, dell Inspiron 710m battery, dell G5345 battery, dell Inspiron 8600 battery, dell Latitude D800 battery, dell Precision M60 battery, dell Inspiron 9100 battery, dell H5559 battery, dell Latitude D830 battery, dell Latitude D820 battery, dell Precision M65 batteryshades of gray, a faster refresh of the screen, and the ability to convert text to speech for the new "read to me" feature. But best of all, they updated the page turning buttons, which were always a massive annoyance.

Today's first deal is for the Mobi TykeLight Jr. This AAA battery such as dell Latitude D620 battery, dell TC030 battery, dell PC764 battery, dell Latitude D610 battery, dell Latitude D600 battery, dell Latitude X200 battery, dell 8U443 battery, dell 3H625 battery, dell 1691P battery, dell 451-10298 battery, dell PC764 battery, dell RD850 battery powered nightlight is perfect as a reassuring light for kids when you are on the road. The light is available in three colors, and the cheapest (green) is on sale for just $6.95. Click here for this deal.

Notebook computers have been crowding into the desktop space for some time now, especially in markets such as education. Many schools that once had to build special computer rooms to house clunky desktop systems now issue each student a lightweight notebook computer. Notebook computers are much easier to set up, maintain and repair. Students can carry a notebook wherever they go, and if they are held responsible for their own notebooks, theft becomes much less of an issue.

Gateway’s new M250E notebook computer is ideal for professional users as well as the K-12 education segment. The highly configurable notebook lets solution providers give their customers the exact mobile solution they need. And even with a 14-inch wide-screen display and a fully loaded system, the M250E still weighs less than 6 pounds, so it’s easy for an adult or child to carry around. It is fairly rugged with battery like Hp Compaq 292389-001 battery, Hp DD880A battery, HP DG988A battery, HP DG103A battery, HP Pavilion ZT3000 battery, HP Pavilion ZT3400 battery, HP PP2182D battery, HP Pavilion ZD7000 battery, HP DM842A battery, HP DP390A battery, HP HSTNN-DB02 battery, HP PP2200 battery, too, so it can stand up to the abuse that young users might put it through.

The Sabio chassis includes the case, motherboard, keyboard, touchpad, battery, and integrated wireless antenna, along with all necessary screws for securing add-on cards. The motherboard provides four USB 2.0 ports, a single four-pin IEEE 1394 port, 56K modem and 10/100 Ethernet, along with one PCMCIA slot, a multi-format flash memory reader, and S-Video out. The display is a 1280 x 800 widescreen LCD.

Intel Pentium-M CPU: Intel's mobile CPU has proven to be the new standard in the notebook market. It offers a compromise on speed to gain battery such as Hp Pavilion ZV5000 battery, Hp Pavilion ZV6000 battery, HP Pavilion ZX5000 battery, HP F4809A battery, HP F4098A battery, HP F4812A battery, HP PB994A battery, HP nc6200 battery, HP nc6220 battery, HP HSTNN-IB09 battery, HP PF723A battery, HP Pavilion DV1000 batterylife. Intel has found that prioritizing low-power consumption over breakneck speeds has impacted the market quite favorably. For this Recipe's CPU component, I recommend Intel's 1.6 GHz CPU, an entry-level choice that still provides enough muscle for power travelers.

Apple released iOS 4.1 to developers this week, but the fix that the company promised to "fix" the signal bars is now out for those with an iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4 on the eve of the press conference that's happening on Friday morning.

This update brings it up to just 4.0.1. The small bump in version numbering implies that this is just a small tweak in how signal is calculated and presented in bar form.

Funnily enough, one of the most noticeable effects of the tweak is that now the leftmost three bars have grown in height. See the image from Engadget (old on top, new on bottom):

For all of you who depend on a carrier unlock, beware that 4.0.1 brings with it a baseband update for the 3G with battery such as Compaq PP2061E battery, Compaq Armada E500 battery, Compaq PP2060 battery, Compaq Armada 7800 battery, Compaq 230608-001 battery, Compaq Armada M700 battery, Compaq 138184-001 battery, Compaq Presario 1200 battery, Compaq Presario 1600 battery, Compaq Presario 1800 battery, Compaq 240258-001 battery, Compaq EVO N100 battery and 3GS that it's not yet unlockable, so don't play around with that update button in iTunes just yet.

According to Gizmodo, this distortion, which is similar in effect to a Dual Link adapter losing one of its “Links”, can be replicated if a second USB device or hub was used in the second USB plug or the pass through plug located on the adapter itself. The Mini-DP with battery like Compaq Presario NX9010 battery, Compaq Presario 18XL battery, Compaq 293876-001 battery, Compaq Presario M2000 battery, Compaq Presario V2000 battery, Compaq Presario V5000 battery, Compaq Presario R3000 battery, Compaq Presario X6000 battery, Compaq Prosignia 190 battery, Compaq Presario R3400 battery, Compaq Presario 1690 battery, Compaq Presario N1050V battery to DL-DVI adapter uses both the DisplayPort plug and the USB port to drive the larger 30” displays. This distortion will occur almost instantly if the secondary USB plug is used. But if it is left free, then the distortion could take up to one hour before appearing.

Since our previous report on the cost of Apple’s first party adapters to connect its new DisplayPort standard to older DVI ports, a new twist in the continuing issue with Apple’s DisplayPort and its adapters has surfaced.

First brought to light by Gizmodo back in December, users were complaining on the Apple Support Forums that their new Mini-DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI adapters were experience flickering and distortion while connected to 30” displays.
