Amazon.com may be still interested in getting the iPhone listed on their store. AT&T and Apple are still not close to doing that. But that hasn’t kept Amazon from jumping on board and creating an iPhone application for folks to shop more effectively on their iPhones.

Amazon understands that the mobile market is growing rapidly, and in order to stay relevant Amazon will have to move quickly to take leadership position in mobile retail. This is a move to the right direction for Amazon, but one wonders what this move means to the Amazon Kindle. Will Amazon come up with its own “iPhonic” mobile device (with the SDK and all the good stuff) by upgrading the Kindle?

I don’t know about you but I have a soft spot for Nokias. As the guy in Transformers said, you’ve got to respect the Japanese. On a serious note, I do believe that Nokia makes outstanding phones that always fall a tad bit short to kill the ones made by Apple. Nokia has been trying and failing at this for months now. N95 and the future upgrades on it were all meant to bring the end of iPhone, but folks just don’t find Nokia phones good enough as package for them to put down their shiny phones.

PC World is now reporting that N97 will be the latest phone made to try to wrestle away the momentum from the iPhone. If I remember correctly, N95 came with super GPS, a super camera and bunch of other features that the iPhone didn’t have, but it still didn’t manage to beat out its shiny rival. The new phone is even more formidable. It’s practically a camcorder now, and it comes with its own MobileMe-like service.  Oh and it’s a touchscreen phone.

I am going to go on a limb and declare iPhone the winner between the two phones if they go head to head. Not because Nokia N97 is actually inferior to the iPhone. Not even close. I find N97 attractive in many areas, but when it comes to selling phones, Apple has struck gold and it would take something out of this world to challenge the iPhone in the consumer market.

I don’t know about you but I keep reading about how folks have turned round their lives and lost weight thanks to their iPhones and iPods. So I am curious to know what your experience has been with your iPhone. Have you started exercising more due to buying an iPhone? Or is it just another device that has made your lazier (my case ;)? Please share your thoughts.

You got that right. You can officially put Linux on the iPhone. Now I am not suggesting that the current Mac OS on iPhone is any bad, and I love my iPhone the way it is. However, it is always encouraging to see possibilities available for a device such as the iPhone.

The good folks at Gizmodo have an interesting theory about Google putting Android on iPhone, which is more than possible if you can already put Linux on the iPhone. I personally don’t consider Android a threat to the Mac Mobile OS right now, and I am sure Apple is alert about the possible future threat from Android. But what I am more interested about is to see if Apple will pull a Microsoft on us by limiting or banning Android to be put on the iPhone.

What’s your take?

Amazon’s customer vote promotion is back again, and there are some amazing deals available for a limited time. Now these deals are given to folks randomly which means you may not get lucky after all. But it’s surprising that Eee and Flip are included in the voting process, and iPod touch isn’t. I guess you still have a lot to be thankful for if you win the PS3 deals, but I would have liked to see iPod touch included in the voting process. It would’ve been a no-brainer.

You decide: Should iPod Touch be offered through Amazon Customer Vote? How about the iPhone itself (knowing that it won’t be on Amazon anytime soon).
