No, I think their plan was always to release it before the fall semester. The second most asked question on the Amazon boards (after "Does Kindle work in <foreign country>?") is "Can I get textbooks on it?" They may have been pressured to announce today rather than in 2 months, but this device was a no-brainer.

As for the iPhone, everyone thought the it was ridiculously overpriced when it was introduced. The Kindle DX, on the other hand, is quite reasonable compared to ereaders of similar size.
