Citigroup analyst Mark Mahaney is saying that Amazon.com will sell nearly 400,000 Kindles this year, which could build up to account for 4% of Amazon’s total revenues, projected in to 2010.
Okay, it’s not a Mobile phone as we know it, but it represents one of the splinter technologies that may end up partly or wholly in a connected, portable, Mobile Internet Device. I’ve not seen one in the flesh, so couldn’t possibly comment on how good it is – but given Amazon are behind it, and it’s selling like an electronic hotcake, I’ve reason to believe it must be pretty darn good!

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
