The Kindle won. I’ve been thinking this for a long while: Amazon won the ereader war. They were first to market – not officially, but in terms of mindshare, they offer a software package that is compelling on almost every mobile and desktop platform, and they have an entrenched user base already invested in their product.

They can change prices all they want and by all means if you love your Kindle or Nook or Notion Ink Adam or Jojo, stick with it. Thoughts? Apple May Face Class-Action Lawsuit Over iPhone 4. The iPhone 4's much-discussed reception and antenna issues just might spawn a class-action lawsuit. Law firm Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff is issuing a call for disgruntled users as part of their investigations of "potential problems with the release of iPhone 4.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs claims that "there is no reception issue," but he also cautions iPhone 4 owners to "stay tuned. "
