You know what would be really killer? If Amazon came out with an unlocked E-Ink phone like the one Onyx just announced, but with a better and faster OS, a camera, and wispersync so you can read on your phone when you're out without having to drag a Kindle around yet pick up reading your book on your Kindle when you get back home without losing your place. Color E-Ink would be nice, but a B/W screen wouldn't be that much of a drawback for taking color pictures, because most folks these days already edit their photos on a PC or tablet before sharing them. Basically all you need to know from your phone as far as taking pictures goes is whether or not you're chopping someone's head off, and I wouldn't doubt that somebody somewhere is working on an app capable of even fixing that in editing. The E-Ink screen would be the pits for running most apps, but for the things you really need in life—an e-reader that's useful under all lighting conditions, a camera, and a device that lets you call home from the supermarket—it would fill the bill nicely.
