I think the reason Amazon came out with a Kindle app just for the iPhone/iPod Touch has nothing to do with favoritism. It has to do with the fact that you cannot take a stock device, plug it into your computer's USB port and copy off the eBooks. So that still gives Amazon control with the ability to open their eBooks to more people.
