Hot on the tail of Amazon’s Kindle 2, Hearst has announced that they’re launching a wireless e-reader.

Hot on the tail of Amazon’s Kindle 2, Hearst has announced that they’re launching a wireless e-reader.
Let the e-book fragmentation war begin… sigh.

Amazon’s Kindle 2 was released today, If you pre-ordered it, it’ll show up in the next day or two.
What’s a Kindle, and why would you want one? It’s an electronic book reader, but it’s quite a bit more than that. The device has a built-in cell radio that let’s you download content no matter where you are. The key things about that feature are 1) You don’t have to pay monthly fees, so once you buy it, that’s it; 2) You can download new books, sometimes at a substantial discount from Amazon and have them go straight to your Kindle; 3) You can download more than just books – magazines, blogs and newspapers are also available!
If you’re interested, take a look at the Kindle Video to find out more.
Serious Eats is reporting that Pepsi and Mountain Dew made with sugar (instead of high fructose corn syrup) are going to be available starting on April 20th through June 13th. They’re going to be branded as “Throwback” – Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback.
This is huge – the only thing that could be better would be if they put it into glass bottles. I remember having Pepsi in glass bottles when I was a kid and in college… It was far superior than the blend they use now.
Be sure and grab it while you can!

This reminds me a lot of “Once More With Feeling”….
Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, is taking a medical leave of absence.
Palm has thousands of existing applications, and I haven’t heard a word about whether those existing applications are going to work on the Pre. Anyone know?
Update: Seems we have an answer, and that answer is no.
The Palm Pre will have a wireless charger called “The Touchstone”. Little round gizmo that you just place the Pre on to charge it up. Very cool.
