Already positioned as one of the leaders in Net sales, they've provided a technically sound product, and made it relatively uncomplicated to use. They are poised to dominate both hardware and software markets! BUT, they could very well blow the whole thing, and leave Sony to capitalize! Amazon needs to take a lesson from the ISP wars of the early '90's. Dozens of regional, and national ISP's, each forcing subscribers to use only the tools of that provider, were slugging it out trying to bury the other guy, and get rich doin' it. The Net landscape was littered with the tiny bodies of proprietary failure, while Jim and Bill spent hundreds of millions trying to convince the world that there was only one way to go. Lucky for us that their decisions to pretty much live-and-let-live proved the best way. Apple pulled off the coup of the century with iPod, AND iTunes, AND Tunes Store! "Here, take the song; 99 cents, please! Okay, it's yours; do what you want with it"! WE buy it, listen, cut cd's, make play lists, add and delete, & archive as we choose; ON OUR OWN HARDWARE, at our own discretion! The beauty & simplicity of it puts iPod in the company of Kleenex & Frigidaire. There ARE other MP3 players out there, but the whole world thinks 'iPod'! Amazon must let go, NOW, and let the user control ALL of these same facets with Kindle2 AND the e-books! Apple has proved that method wins! If Amazon continues to insist on controlling certain aspects of access, and storage, and archive, they are gonna blow a deal that could be as sweet as iPod, and iPhone! Also, all that money that Sony will gladly take from them!! Okay Amazon.... you got the ball; now mess up!! Amazon has done most of it right in marketing Kindle2. Already positioned as one of the leaders in Net sales, they’ve provided a technically sound product, and made it relatively uncomplicated to use.
