Oprah just gave out the new Kindle 2 to her entire audience. The rest of us have to wait for Christmas. That was a hint. To my loved ones.

Now, she just offered a coupon code to give her home viewers a $50 discount. But when I went on her site, the discount was for the ORIGINAL Kindle! She was holding the much smaller and much NEWER Kindle 2. Bait and switch, is what that is. Jeff Bezos went on Oprah trying to clear his warehouse to make room for the new version. Shady.

The best gadgets have yet to be released, including:

Amazon Kindle 2
When Amazon announced the breakthrough Kindle electronic book reader, Newsweek proclaimed on its cover that the device was "the future of reading." Now, eleven months later, wired bibliophiles are seeking a Kindle that's even more futuristic—or at least, one that fixes the annoying design and user-interface defects of the original.

Motorola's Android phone
The T-Mobile G1, the first smartphone to run Google's "Android" operating system for mobile phones, is now in stores. But other mobile phone manufacturers are readying their own Android headsets, including Motorola, whose phone BusinessWeek reports "will boast an iPhone-like touch screen, a slide-out qwerty keyboard, and a host of social-network-friendly features."
