I doubt we'll have a new Kindle product before Christmas, I think the lower price and the international model is "it" for this year. I'd think any newer product would've been leaked by now.

As Juj1n noted, on the Amazon website the US only Kindle 2 seems to have disappeared. It looks like all 6" screen Kindles are international models now....And the price has dropped to $259!

I ordered a US Kindle at the time of the price drop, so I am still within the 30 days.....Although I suspect Amazon will keep Sprint service going for a couple of years, I'll bet they eventually shift to only AT&T (provider of wireless for the International version in the US). In the interests of long-term usability, I'm thinking of returning my US version for an international one so I'll be on AT&T wireless.
