Then again anyone ask Bezos why he had Amazon buy Touchco? I often wonder why so many of these interviews never touch on that topic. Of course it is Charlie Rose, a noted beacon for the tech world.
By saying he wanted to focus on non-backlit devices he is not leaving out a general computing device. By going in the non-backlit direction he is also safe in stating Amazon is not going to chase the trend.
It's always more fun to examine what is not stated rather than what is said. Is there a newer video than the 2007 interview between rose and Bezos? I'm looking but seem to be rather "Google challenged" at the moment. d'oh???!!
