There always are ground breaking technologies almost every year, but not all of these technologies always change the way we live our lives. The reasoning for this varies, but it is almost always something that cannot be planned for. We have seen this happen for home computers, portable MP3 players, cellular phones, and even something as simple as a George Forman grill. One such technology that was almost set to fail from the get go was the iPad from Apple. No one really understood why someone would give up their laptop computer for a larger version of an iPod. Over the past few years, this notion has been proven wrong with sales of the iPad reaching the billion dollar mark. Now that the original has been a break through hit, a new version is set to hit the shelves. The new version is expected to handle more add on devices and be more compatible

One such new add on to the new upcoming iPad 2 is a pulse oximeter. A pulse oximeter, also known as a pulse ox by some medical professionals, is a medical device used to measure the blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate of an individual. This device is just one part of many tools medical professionals need for their daily activities. A new pulse oximeter is smaller than your average cell phone, and clips onto one’s fingertip. The device provides its information within seconds. In the past, this information was either written down on the patient’s chart or stored within the pulse oximeter, but now with a iPad 2 the data can instantly be transferred to the tablet and immediately combined with any other vital information of the patient.

New iPad 2 devices are already on the production lines, and are set to be released soon enough.

The Kindle 2 allows you to download a book from Amazon and read it just like you would a paperback book. The features and benefits of the Kindle are just short of fantastic. I have shelves and shelves of paperback books that could ALL fit into a Kindle. You can have all your favorite books right at your fingertips! The Kindle 2 will hold up to 1500 average size books! 1500!!

A paperback book costs anywhere from $9.99 or so on up to $40 or $50 dollars – Most books for the Kindle cost $9.99 – even best sellers! There is NO cost to download you\’re books either. It works on a wireless network just like your cell phone, but there are NO contracts and NO monthly fees. It\’s perfect!

You can also get most major newspapers delivered to your Kindle so that it\’s waiting for you every morning – along with your coffee of course.

There are six different type sizes on the Kindle 2 – which means that many of just might be able to get rid of the darn reading glasses when using the Kindle! THAT\’S worth a whole lot to me – I hate these reading glasses!

The Kindle 2 will read to you! If you\’re driving or otherwise “hand occupied” you can easily have the Kindle read to you. I\’m thinking …. cookbooks! How cool would it be to have your Kindle read a recipe to you while you prepare the ingredients – no back and forth to the book! And YES – they are cookbooks available for the Kindle. In fact there are over 230,000 titles currently available with more being added everyday.

The Kindle weighs 10 ounces, which is less than most paperback books – and certainly lighter than a hard cover book. I don\’t know about you, but after and hour or so of reading my hands and fingers get tired. (I\’m old, okay? LOL) With the light weight of the Kindle 2, I can read for hours with no discomfort at all! This is a great boon for those with arthritis in their hands, fingers and wrists.

The new Kindle 2 has added more battery life too. You can go days of reading before you have to recharge your Kindle. It comes with a wall charger or a USB cable so that you can hook it up to your computer for charging.

I not only like to read – I love to read and the Kindle 2 is going to revolutionize they way we all enjoy our reading!
