Now there is an argument to the Forbes article from
ZDNet.
Quote:
So why does Amazon need a true Kindle 2.0, and not just Kindle 1.1? Because in due time, Sony will get the formula right — and Amazon can’t afford to play up a joystick versus a touchscreen once Sony narrows the gap in the wireless category and has the bright idea that a gadget can’t take off with a name like “PRS-700.”
Amazon’s unique challenge is to increase the popularity of e-readers while increasing the adoption of its own devices. It must win over new consumers as well as Kindle converts. To do so, the Kindle stone must gather no moss.
