Dave shows you how to take apart the new Amazon Kindle 3 3rd Generation 3G/GSM/WiFI Ebook reader, and examines and discusses the circuitry, assembly, and build quality.
And hackers can get excited about the accessible ARM JTAG port.
Dave unboxes and reviews the new Amazon Kindle 3 3rd Generation 3G GSM/WiFi Ebook reader.
What superlatives can he find for the new E-Ink display?
And what happens to the E-Ink display when you put it in the thermal chamber?

The live EEVblog show recorded back on July 4th. I only just around to editing and uploading it.

Dave turns a low cost reptile egg incubator into a decent 2degC to 60degC lab thermal chamber.
Throw in a Rigol oscilloscope, an Arduino, and a few multimeters for good measure.
The model used is the HERP Nursery II, also known as the BCR-25 Wine/Beer chiller and Pie Warmer.
Come behind the scenes on Karl von Moller's latest documentary "State of Electronics".
Karl shows off his Canon 5D MKII HD video camera and accessories he is using to shoot the documentary.

The 2nd EEVblog Live show.
A whole bunch of stuff - Extech update, Agilent, Extech and BK Precison LCR meters, uCalc project, broken chairs, BP oil spill solution, the Large Hadron Collider, decade resistance boxes, multimeter shootout and countless more viewer questions.
Drive-Time. Dave rants randomly about TI's bold new entry into the hobby/hacker/maker market with the $4.30 MSP-EXP430G2 Evaluation Board, and what it's got to do with the Arduino
A bit of a follow-on from the linear regular episode. Dave dances with a simple linear closed loop circuit he built, and bodges it up in LTspice to get a remarkably consistent result.
Not really a tutorial, just a few random tidbits.
Dave was looking forward to reviewing the new Extech RC200 SMD Tweezer Multimeter, until the damn thing tried to kill him. Now he's, well, kinda mad!...
The Cryrustek ES51928 DMM Chip: http://www.cyrustek. com.tw/spec/ES51928. pdf
Is the bad design of the IDEAL multimeter tilting bail really that a-typical? Should you expect to be able to poke the buttons on a multimeter while it's standing up?
Dave does some comparisons to find out.
Bad Product Design 101:
How to screw up your product with a simple design oversight.
The IDEAL brand 61-342 looked like a nice multimeter until Dave tried to actually use it and discovered an epic product design FAIL!
Just how different are linear, LDO and switching buck voltage regulators? I'm glad you asked!
You might be surprised...
It's tutorial time.
NOTE: There are many different methods of SMPS control, this is just one of the simple ones, go investigate!
