Hmm...

Amazon offers an iPhone app.
Amazon launches the international Kindle2
Amazon cuts the price of the iKindle and refunds $20 for previously purchased units without being asked to.
Amazon promises an international DX early in 2010
Refurbished K1's, K2's, and DX's are selling at deep discounts.
Amazon drops book prices to outsell Walmart, etc.
The number of Kindle books available continues increasing - to now over 350,000.

And then - the Kindle Reader on the PC, with a Mac version promised to follow soon. No Kindle required to buy & read Kindle books.

I don't doubt that 2009 will be a very good year for Bezos & company.
This is quite a record for a single company in 1 year.
