Kindle 2 Review: Whispernet Demonstration アマゾン キンドル ２インターネット

I couldn`t find any reviews showing what the Kindle`s whispernet is like. So I made one!

I live in Japan, so the connection speed might be a bit different but I think this gives you a good idea of what it`s like to use. Hope somebody finds this useful.

For the record I have nothing against the iphone/ipad. If I wanted to do anything more than reading/email on a train I would have bought one of them instead. Also I chose the kindle 2 partly because it works out about 4 times cheaper than a 2 year iphone/ipad internet connection.

Fantastic. I also live in Japan and was wondering about the same things with the kindle. I will be purchasing one by the end of the month (august 2010) now that I now that the web is semi decent. Thanks for the great review.

Hey,

You`ll probably get faster download speeds as I had no `3g` connection in this review. Also I`d recommend disabling pictures for really fast surfing.

Oh, and if you want to read kanji here is my video on how to hack your kindle.

I hope you find it as useful as I have

P.S. It``s 2.30 AM! Go to sleep man!

@RaymondCorrigan If it wasn't 3G, what were you using? wi-fi? They just opened up the third generation for pre-order on amazon like 2 days ago. I'm hoping some of these elements have been fixed or at least made a little better.

P.S. I had some Metropolis magazine networking party to go to and got home late.

P.P.S. It's 3:30 AM! Stop replying to youtube videos and go to sleep dude bro! :)

@murfusman

Just the standard 2G mobile phone connection. Like when your phone has a connection but you can only make standard calls, not video calls.

Yeah, I want the kindle 3! The wi-fi (not on kindle 2) would be great for travel. Also the screen and battery are supposedly awesome.

P.S. Fair enough!

[murfusman]

@RaymondCorrigan Oh interesting. I didn't realize it could access the 2g as well. Where are you living in Japan. I'm out in Chiba, but work in Tokyo all week.

@murfusman

I`m hiding out in the Hiroshima countryside.

I go to Tokyo every 6 months or so for uni exams.

Nive reviev! But I'm not completely understand about whispernet.

Can I see all internet sites with Whispernet and will it work in Russia? I want to see web-pages like vk.com or mail.ru or yandex.ru, it's russian sites.

(sorry if anything wrong with my english)

You have a striking resemblance to Paul McCartney.
