I think we have a few firmware-peakers who make assumptions which cannot be substantiated and then speculate that this means there are new Kindles coming immediately. When I taught at the university I would bleed all over research papers that used pseudo-logic. What a load! New Kindles might appear, and they might appear sooner than we think, but these assumptions are ridiculous and should not be put forth as though they are fact.

One thing is for sure, we won't get any new Kindles before Amazon announces them and as far as I know Amazon has not even scheduled any conferences yet. I suspect we are at least a month or two away from an announcement, then possibly weeks later before any new devices ship. Last year they announced the Fire and Touch in late September but didn't start shipping until about 6 weeks later.
