I think you're right that this is a glimpse into the current state of the AT&T / Apple relationship. Beyond AT&T stocking an iPad alternative, I think the Kindle announcement was timed to distract from the iPad 2 announcement as much as possible (even though that isn't much). After all, the news comes a few days before the iPad 2 event and the Kindles go on sale a few days after. Coincidence? I think not.
