So have you heard of an Amazon hardware event for Tuesday? Or are you one of the NDA club members, and you don’t want to get evicted?
Nah, they don’t care about some little ole niche blog and I’m too recalcitrant to make any effort to deal with PR and marketing types. Plus I can’t understand why anyone would want to fly across the country just to attend a 1 hour product unveiling. Then if they were to release another set of refreshed 6-inch Kindles my head would probably explode. They’d much prefer to have a bunch of easily-impressed yes-men to attend those kind of things rather than experts willing to ask tough questions and point out shortcomings.
Yeah, true, I guess they’d only invited the big budget, big media reps. And there is something about that cozy relationship that waters down editorial integrity.
I imagine we’ll still get to enjoy your head-exploding commentary when the announcements are official…
