    The real game-changer could be the new Kindle. I am a bit surprised they've been delaying it for so long, they must be waiting for it to be all-ready to make a blitzkrieg. Today's Kindle is the only tablet-like device that competes well with iPad. The new one will likely have:

    — colour;
    — touchscreen;
    — Amazon App Store;
    — Kindle books millions you already have;
    — Amazon S3;

    ...and the killer feature they have been testing successfully with Kindle 3G:

    — Worldwide interwebs, possibly still free. Whispernet is not just a deal with a phone operator in each country. It is a deal with all phone operators in each area, ensuring the best connectivity. The whole thing is transparent to you, you just have a flawless 3G experience. Kindle is the most futuristic device I had in this regard, I have used it in 10 countries so far—only in 2 of them it wasn't online (Cambodia, Vietnam).
