Amazon are supposedly the "manufacturer" of the Kindle, Nathan. But,  
since it is obviously produced for them, your supposition probably  
holds water, heavy water!

As another said, "wait for it". Perhaps by then, Apple will have  
worked-out its product ideas and be implementing the necessary hook- 
ups, as with the i-phone.

I knew about the Sky situation, from other expats. in the latin world.

What's really important tho', is sitting back in a comfortable chair,  
with an Irish beer (I like Murphys too) in hand, to watch the  
senoritas paseando in the sun.
