I think the coolest feature is not the hardware or the price but Silk - the cloud based web browser that uses Amazon EC2 as a giant predictive cache/optimizer. Here is a short video that explains what it does: http://amazonsilk.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/introducing-amazon-silk/ The idea is that since everyone using the browser goes through the Amazon cloud back end Amazon can gather enough data to predict which page you will likely go to next so they can pre-fetch it before you click on the link. Not so sure how I feel about that from a privacy perspective but from a business perspective having all that usage data sets them up to compete with likes of Google in some interesting ways... Josh
