Is Amazon's Kindle Outpacing Early iPod Sales?

Did you decide to write this piece 5 minutes before deadline? Your premise is as faulty as a sub-prime loan.

You completely discount that Apple single handedly defined and created the digital download market. They blazed the trail for everyone else.

Could it be that the mobile carriers didn't have the infrastructure to carry the bandwidth, and wouldn't have until Apple mobile devices demanded it?
