iFixit rips up a Kindle 2

Others have already spotted the unused SIM card space. I can exclusively reveal, however, that I think those chips might be big enough to run Doom.

Kindle 2 First Look [iFixit]

   1.3 frame per second Doom! Yeeha!

   Interesting how this time WWAN is provided using a normal mini-PCI-e card.

   With the footprint of the actual electronics behind the STILL huge bezel being only this big, I have to ask WHY they still wrap it in 10 layers of plastic bezel wrapping. Any company that made something like this this small inside should put as little bezel around it as possible. Emphasize screen realestate.

   What’s keeping a decent enterprising maker from molding a new case, and making that slide out keyboard someone jokingly wished for and mocked up a few days ago, for personal use only of course?

   Nothing now, except the price!

   Shoot, I’d be happy if someone did up a black or dark grey case for it.
