Amazon Wireless? Don't ask me!!

So what do we make of that, then. My reply to "Phil"...



Of course, I may end up with egg on my face, because in spite of the multiplicity of links around the net *claiming* that Amazon bought Stanza, the one thing thats missing is an announcement, or indeed *any* confirmation from Amazon itself, that it had acquired Stanza. Just starting to wonder...

Of course if nobody owns it anymore, then it should be disassembled and recreated as a new app.

Lexcycle announced it on their blog in 2009:

We are very excited to announce that Lexcycle has been acquired by Amazon.com!

It has been an amazing experience to see Stanza grow out of our brainstormed ideas into one of the most downloaded iPhone applications. Throughout this period we have attempted to listen to and innovate for our customers to provide a great ebook reading experience.
