Amazon has been buying software companies like Lexcycle (Stanza) and Snaptell (who've created software for Google's Android operating system). There are many signs that they are expanding Amazon product availability (Kindle books, eventually subscriptions) to more mobile devices than the iPhone (Blackberry all but certain) and some signs that they will be opening up the Kindle at some point to apps that can run on it.Businessweek looked at Amazon's current job ads for hints:
' Amazon lists 17 open mobile-related positions on its Web site, including for software engineers, a senior product manager for mobile payments, and a director of mobile applications. One job ad says Amazon expects its hire to "develop partnerships with mobile companies." Another posting seeks applicants who can write programs for Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Mobile operating system. '

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
