I like Windows Phone conceptually, but not sure that the whole modality play really works in practise. Will be interesting to see if Amazon does much on this element of their product, or if it will just be about replacing some icons with Amazon services.
Its going to be intersting to see Amazon's interface. I'm betting that Amazon will go with the tried and true page of icons. Geeks tend not to like it, but its so simple three yearolds can figure it out, and Amazon will likely not break new ground here. The various Amazon stores will be front and center, as well as the Amazon Cloud app. The key will be their media player apps. Apple makes buying, playing and organizing music and media through Itunes a very fluid, intuitive experience. Android has nothing like that .
