As the comments at the link say, the article itself is very confusing.
First, you don't have to own Kindle hardware to use the iPhone Kindle software; I'm pretty sure the same is true for the Kindle software on BlackBerry and PC.
It seems that whoever wrote that article is using the term "Kindle" to mean "ebook software" or "ebook-reading capability". Or not; the article is really badly written.
Of course, the writer may mean they have some confirmation that Apple won't restrict ebooks solely to the iBook software. I don't recall any concrete info from Apple one way or another. Right now, my iPhone has the following ebook apps: Kindle, BookShelfLT, eReader, B&N eReader, Stanza, and Kobo. If I can't use any of those apps on an iPad, that makes the iPad a bit less useful to me.
