    Funny how they waited until 1 week before the iPad 3 drops on the market. Hoping for Apple to cut them a fat check so they can go away.

    Jesus, Amazon is going to be the only retailer left standing, and when that happens, they'll be the only publisher before you know it.

    Not sure, but this could be related to Apple not allowing the iPad 3 to be available on Amazon or anywhere else for pre-order. The iPad 2 was released over one week after it was first available on Amazon.

    I don't blame Apple. People in states with Apple stores (pretty much everybody) don't want to pay sales tax when they don't have to.

    I don't even have to read the article to know they "got nothing."

    In the past were CBS the ones who threatened to pull their content off from iTunes if Apple didn't raise prices?
