This is exciting, if only for the pricing pressure Amazon brings to every market they enter. Google wouldn't be selling a premium tablet at cost if it weren't for them. It's unlikely that e-readers, a fairly niche product would have moved below $100 after only a few years on the market (and their bundling 3G service with a product was an impressive value proposition from the beginning). I hope they offer a heavily subsidized phone on a network with cheap rates (Virgin).
At this point, where media content and software are already selling at commodity prices, the phone service is the only thing left to commoditize.
