Creating even the image of a split in their user base is not a smart move by Amazon.

Up until this point Amazon has always seemed to be at least trying to do the right thing by me, but this just feels poorly thought-out. You don't make a grand announcement of the addition of the single most hotly requested feature, then inexplicably ensure that it'll stay out of the hands of 80% of your customers until most of the enthusiasm evaporates and is replaced by frustration, or simple "whatever."
...unless you're feeling insecure about the sales of the iPad and feel the need to grandstand a bit prematurely?  |
Can I quote you on another forum? You've hit the nail on the head--dead center
