100% CORRECT. I'll be checking for the pre-order page on Amazon all the time now.
I presume my PW 2012 and 2013 will be useful as Easter gifts then. Its PW 2014 for me for sure.
I'm still awaiting the HDXYZ 2014 for next November.
Automatic Kindle buyers like me should get some sort of quantity discount from Amazon as well (hint, Amazon, if you are reading this). Amazon already offers additional discounts for those who arrange for periodic deliveries of certain disposal consumer items at their site.
The Chinese supplier, Foxconn, must be cleaning up. I heard on TV that Apple employs 25,000 in the USA but 700,000 in China using Foxconn as a subcontractor. I have not heard of the Amazon equivalent numbers.
Between corporations like Amazon, Apple, GE, GM, Coca Cola, Boeing and Walmart Chinese employment is soaring while US employment continues to decline as 72,000 US factories were moved in their entirety from America to China since China joined the WTO in 2001.
If we buy iPads or Kindles, we are really buying from China, not America. If we buy Samsung products, we are buying from South Korea with some of those products being made on a subcontract to North Korea in the DMZ.
