According to the Wall Street Journal, Amazon is working with publishers to provide a Netflix-like subscription service for Kindle books. This is in the rumor stage, and it’s possible if this deal gets done, that it will be part of the Amazon Prime $79/year membership program, that includes free 2 day shipping on all purchases, as well as instant streaming video access to TV and movies; which will then include a selection of book titles. The subscription model worked for music, will it work for e-books? Let’s wait and see.

For an Operating System that only has 6% of the market share, it’s hard to believe that some forecast Windows Phones to become number two, or even number one, within a few years time. Things change very quickly in the tech world in a short period of time, so I suppose anything is possible. I just don’t see Apple’s iOS losing that much market share, given the iPhone’s popularity.
Here’s an excerpt from BGR.com:
According to research reports from Gartner and IDC, Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system will grab about 20% of the smartphone market by 2015, enough to propel the OS past Apple’s iOS platform to take the No. 2 spot globally. Research firm Gartner believes Android will have a 49% market share in 2015, followed by Windows Phone at 19.5%, and Apple’s iOS growth will slow so much that it will only maintain a 17% share. IDC believes Windows Phone will have a 20.3 percent share in 2015.
