Comments on: Amazon’s next move with the Kindle DX http://kevinchiu.org/archives/amazons-next-move-with-the-kindle-dx Things are only impossible until they're not.

Yes, Android is a promising platform that I anticipate will become popular in the near future. Samsung is definitely a company to watch closely. I'm not too familiar with the N97, having never used it myself. However, I'd suggest against judging a phone purely on its specs. For example, the typical application start time on the Android Dream is quicker than that of the iPhone 3G, yet the animation that's used to fill the start time on the iPhone provides a smoother user experience. My advice is to try the Nokia N97 in real life and perhaps take it for a trial run. Obsessing over specs only goes so far. Regarding the DX review – someone would actually have to send me a DX.

There are some android ones coming out from HTC and Samsung that i'm curious about. Also seriously thinking about getting the Nokia N97 but I dont' know if it'll get the 3G network from T-Mobile. Have you seen the Nokia N97? I want it but it'll only come with a single ARM11 CPU that won't be as fast as I expected. They loaded the phone with so much stuff but stuck it with a slow processor. Not sure if its worth the investment. I’d be interested in you publishing a review, thanks.

Alternatively, if someone would like me to publish a review, I'd be happy to give the DX a thorough inspection. I’m not getting one until some of the first reviews come out.

I agree that the native pdf support is a big plus. The next one needs to support color, don't you think? I think it'll win more people over. It should do better than the first one but Amazon never releases their sales figures. Are you going to get it? I don't really like the web browser either but at least its there.
