> If they can build a completely vertically integrated retail platform from procurement to payment to delivery...

Amazon has already set this up for books with their Kindle Direct Publishing platform[0]. Writers directly publish on Amazon (cutting out publishers) and their books are electronically delivered to customers' Kindles -> everything stays on Amazon.

Well, there's a more accurate movie about Jobs being planned, for which Woz is a consultant: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/01/13/briefly-aaron-sork...

Screenwriter is Aaron Sorkin - he also wrote the screenplay for The Social Network.

mwal | 12 years ago | on: A Full-Featured, $38 Tablet Is Coming to the U.S.

There's a pretty great $129 tablet (marked down from original retail price of $149) already available in the US: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hisense-Sero-7-Pro-7-Tablet-Quad-C...

I bought one for the grandparents. It's a clone of the V1 Nexus 7 in terms of specs, feels like a high-end tablet and has some pretty great reviews. Only problem is it's out of stock online - you can only get it at Walmart stores.
