Crucial bit of info missing - ownership
What is the ownership model on this? Do you buy the hardware+software package from Amazon for a one-off fee, or will it resemble today's smartphone ownership model, where one buys into the closely guarded ecosystem and gets a blinky-shiny terminal to be able to participate in said ecosystem but isn't supposed to really own it? Such model would make sense from the cloud perspective, but I can't imagine the same warmth of acceptance from common systems guy as smartphones get from their victims users.
