I didn't mention it in my press release today, but yeah, it's gonna turn Kindle into Kindling.
How do I know this? Here at Piper we put our hands on many new consumer electronic products.
So Vivian ran back from receiving today with the Amazon Kindle. She was panting, and so excited her hands were shaking, but she managed to rip off the packaging.
Soon as she had a book loaded, she flicked her finger down the screen to page down. She tried the pinch maneuver to make the font size bigger. "It doesn't work!" she cried as she passed the machine to Andrew.
And wouldn't you know, Andrew tried the same procedure to move to the next page -- touching the screen, he dragged his finger downward. "She's right, this thing is defective," he lamented.
Yes Munster Nation, multitouch is ubiquitous and intuitive, as a great user interface should be. And it's has been marketed so well it has become the defacto standard!
At MacWorld we'll see the real goods.

Imagine what the Kindle developers said when they saw the iPhone.
"Oh Sh*t!"
It was too late to change the interface though.
