Speaking of competition, the new Kindle and new competition for the Kindle are being discussed on the front page of the NY Times today, and elsewhere. I think it's interesting that the competition for the Kindle (which I think will flop) would be even larger. Yuck!

Now, if someone came out with 500 gb of free storage provided by a free net connection analogous to what the Kindle provides, plus of course free Internet connectivity, that would be nice. One thing people appreciate about the Kindle is the no-brainer aspect of getting a book. You don't have to find a provider, just start downloding.

I think that no-brainer wireless Internet access included in the price of the device would be an interesting way to go.

By the way, I noted with interest that the new Kindle has text to speech provided by Nuance, the clear speech-to-text leader. It tempts me to buy one, just for the good voices Nuance has.

(My wireless keyboard is going insane as I type, so some opinions above may be its and not mine.)
