Some of the claims made, though, were wrong. Even before the MP3 ID3-tag scripting exploit was fixed, you couldn't "infect" a Kindle by visiting a site which played an MP3 as background music, as claimed, for the simple reason that the Kindle's browser doesn't play music, and will make no attempt to load such a file.
