i forgot to say that it strains a bit of credulity to posit that amazon
is trying to using f.u.d. here to slow down the sony reader, because
(a) amazon doesn't have credibility to begin with regarding hardware,
and (b) sales of the sony reader have been spectacularly lackluster,
so nobody's really afraid that it will soon "lock up the marketplace"...
indeed, as soon as it appeared in reality (as opposed to in the press,
where every coming machine is believed to be the next best thing),
people consigned it to the dust-bin and started looking elsewhere...
and the hype-masters are sure to satisfy that techno-wanderlust, too.
here we are, one week from the end of spring, and david rothman
has come out with a new entry on his teleblawg, pitching the rumor
that the kindle will be released "this fall". some people never learn.
maybe you think i'm talking about rothman? well, maybe i am, or
maybe i'm talking about the fools who believe his rumor-mongering.
