Whispersync: The Real News Behind Kindle 2 - PC World
Mon, Feb 9th, 2009
The introduction of "Whispersync" technology may well be the bigger technology news from Amazon.com, which announced its Kindle 2 e-reader Monday in New York.
Not much was said about Whispersync by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos during Monday's announcement , but the official Amazon press release defines Whispersync as technology that "automatically syncs Kindle 2 and the original Kindle, which makes transitioning to the new Kindle 2 or using both devices easy for customers."
What has caught the interest of industry analysts, however, is the next sentence from Amazon: "Kindle 2 will also sync with a range of mobile devices in the future."
