Watching this dog and pony show today, I think it's the first time Amazon has been able to speak to gearheads and grannies in the same breath. They threw out any number of cool-sounding acronyms, made a point of filling in some gaping holes in their software strategy, neutralized Apple's "premium" message by declaring themselves aligned with customers instead of Big Aluminum, gave more than lip service to the book industry, offered legitimately desirable exclusive titles, showed exactly what you do with their products, pointed out key technological advantages where appropriate, and priced them to move. It was a good show, and I want one of these things now.
