It's getting late in the game for Amazon to be getting in the game or worse yet challenge iTunes in its entirety. I imagine that considering how Amazon delt with desktops, they might try an entirely and go web apps. No matter considering the enormous lead iTunes has on its competition, I find that many will be sorely at a handicap, this worsten further with the existence of kindle on "apple telecom & tablets" Amazons lost its only edge.

Sorry Amazon, should have thought ahead with the kindle and putting this tablet business off too long. Why tablet when you're selling the same thing every year with superficial upgrades ($$$).

Hell, apple made this market, fully integrated ecosystem & tablets. Better yet, they proved that you don't need a full blown OS to make a tablet work (rather it was well received by the market). Though the simple realization is that this market is limited yet all the big guys want a piece of, not the action, but apple's laurels. Even a small bite will seem like a win if it draws blood.

Retired 8 years ahead of schedule.
