"The Amazon Kindle Tablet: no, you can't play "World of Goo," but you can start watching thousands of free movies and TV shows from Amazon...in under a minute!" [Show someone starting to watch a free streaming video instantly on their Amazon Tablet, then cut to someone with an iPad paying $4 and waiting 2 hours for the same video to download from iTunes].
I wouldn't mind this approach at all. The stock NOOKcolor experience was just O.K. for me. I'm looking forward to something great from Amazon.
