Amazon announces Kindle for Android and Windows-based Tablets and Windows for Phone 7 (Update)

UPDATE JAN. 5, 2011 - This update is NOT about the tablets story below, but I'll add it here as a new apps-release to be noted.  This is straight from the Amazon press release:

Kindle for Windows Phone 7
"Kindle for Windows Phone is the first major eBook app for Windows Phone 7-based devices.
Amazon's free Kindle apps give readers access to the largest selection of the most popular books and lets them sync their reading across all major devices and platforms.
