Did you not know that Steve’s criticism was a sure sign that he was interested in competing in the e-reader market? Apple announced that it was developing its own e-reader.
Funny, Ray, the Apple e-reader is news to me. Seems that sort of announcement would be all over Engadget and the media blogs, but I haven’t heard a peep. So, are you folks at Amazon privy to information the rest of us aren’t? If so, please tell.
Yeah, there's nothing but unsubstantiated rumor floating around out there. Ray's comment above originated from an Amazon.com IP address, so I'm calling astroturfing that's trying to derail discussions and criticisms of Kindle on that one.

This is the closest I could find to an Apple e-reader. Looks like its free software, developed by someone outside of Apple, to be used on the iPhone:
