It is also funny to read all the wishful thinking in this thread what with all the "must have options" if it is to be successful. Yeah right! It will be successful even if it is just a pile of cow flop painted chrome. Marketing experts know how to play us!
The tweet came from Bezos' personal Twitter account, which is verified.

And Amazon hasn't issued a denial, so ...
