- Wasn't there talk of Amazon starting an app store?
- Amazon is going big in video. See: free streaming videos for Amazon prime users (this is happening now). Wouldn't it be great to have a tablet that seemlessly plays all those free streaming videos?
How is any of that helped by having an Amazon-branded tablet, rather than an Amazon app running on any tablet?
