JSWolf, I have to respectfully disagree here. Apple generally does UI really, really well. And it's products are generally very intuitive and easy to use.
I've had WM-based HTC phones for years. Heavily modified, they do many, many things the iPhone can't. But they are not nearly as easy and seamless to use, as the iPhone. In fact, when the next iPhone comes out in June, I will probably jump on it, and dump HTC. It's just better.
So, I think it would be good, if Apple enters the market. Heck, the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX even look like they were designed by Apple (maybe a few years ago
)
But if Apple can apply some of its UI genius to an e-reader, it would be good for us, and good for the ebook market.
