Amazon is preparing an "international" version of the Kindle 3

Perhaps the best reader of Amazon Kindle e-books will soon become even better. Perhaps in the third version (Kindle 3) there will be support for WiFi and 3G, and the device will be officially shipped outside the US.

Such assumptions can be made if you look at the new vacancy posted by Lab126, a hardware company working on Amazon. It is this startup that developed and releases the well-known Amazon Kindle device.

The company is looking for a lead programmer or manager with experience in the development of wireless devices. His responsibilities include recruiting up to four programmers who will work on some unnamed device that supports WiFi and 3G. You can guess it should be the next version of the Kindle (because Lab126 doesn't release anything else). As you can see, these standards are different from the American CDMA, which is used in Sprint networks where Kindle is sold. In addition, “international travel” is mentioned in the vacancy.

So if you have an interest in this work - go for it! You will be one of the first to hold Kindle 3 in your hands. And you will have a wonderful green chair if the picture is not lying.
