True.

2. Amazon needs to provide Kindle subscription plans which should provide unlimited access to all books, newspapers, blogs and more. For example at below $20 per month. When subscribing through a contract for 6-months to 2-years, the Kindle 2 should be subsidized and sold at a much lower price for example below $99.

3. The Kindle should natively support Google Books, Google News and Google Reader type of content access. That should be very well integrated. Also browser plugins should make it possible to easily send a whole bunch of stuff from your PC or Laptop browser to read on your Kindle. A one-click browser plugin process when reading websites.

Who would pay for the massive increase in data traffic that this would generate?

4. Amazon should also release a version with a wacom touchscreen for online collaborative note taking.

That would probably significantly increase the price.

If Amazon doesn't release and announce all that, then I will be disappointed. Amazon has a responsibility to get this thing moving. Amazon needs to do much more than just show a slightly different aesthetic design at the same price.

Amazon's "responsibility" is to make a good profit for their shareholders. In fact it's more than a responsibility - it's a legal obligation. With respect, expecting access to the entire Kindle bookstore for $20 a month is "pie in the sky".
