I soooo want a Zune HD... if only it was made for Mac. :p

Yes, Firefox could work under Windows 7 without crashing.

Dear god this new site is ugly. o.O

lets see...
- make the screen go "to the edge" for the top and bottom of the slider so you can make the screen size comparable to the 3000
- remove thumbsticks from the PlayStation line and never speak of it again (Sony just cant seem to get their ergonomics right even on the dual shocks).
- A2DP for skype or voice chat
- 802.11n (for expanded network range, not speed) /w WPS (AOSS sucks!)
- micro USB port for charging/sync (or mini)
- updated flash lite, HQ Youtube would be awsome on that portable screen.
- about 50 to 75 dollars less.
- a more PS3 like Sony Network experience (trophies, streaming video, community updates, etc)
- much more internal memory (RAM) for web browsing and web videos.
- ability to set a preferred network so it wont constantly harass you with which network to connect to... connect to the one by you that I set up!

Add OS X and Linux support.

Now they just need to allow the Slingbox app over 3G. x.x

Well first I would make it not panic every time I try to shut it down.
Then I would make it so the bootcamp 3.0 drivers don't try to corrupt my HFS+ partitioned drives.
Third I would have waited until people actually wrote drivers for third party peripherals.
Fourth I would have done SOMETHING with OpenCL.
lastly, I wouldn't have released it with so many bugs. :p

Ok got even more info. The annotations file is called My Clippings and is under Kindle(the drive)->documents
There are two files, a .txt format that has the annotation with source (not a markup language, more like a sources sited guide). The second file is a .mbp file which looks like it helps format and construct the page as you see it on the device when you pull up an annotation. Might even work as a kind of a database to keep track of everything and act as a type of hyperlink to process the .txt file on the device. Looks like the .mbp file may have been deleted but I bet he still has his .txt file unless he panicked and tried a erase or reformat.
P.S. annotations also backup to a server at amazon.... what would you bet they have the originals of both files with the kids work on it sitting on the servers or in a datacenter back-up anyways? ^.~

I just did this with my own Kindle 2. I annotated several spots across four books, got one of the books wiped off (as in remote), and the annotations file was still intact and had the annotations on all four books still present. Perhaps if you only have one annotated book it will wipe it out, but I cant see Amazon moving into that file and selectively deleting this and that paragraph scattered through out the large un marked up text file. If someone enters in a annotation that is equal to the book ID it may wipe out a lot more then what Amazon intended... and I don't think they implemented the annotation subsystem and remote wipe that poorly.

AMAZON DIDNT DELETE HIS NOTES!!!!!!!

I hate to be the one to tell you all this but this story has one problem with it, his notes weren't deleted! If he plugs the Kindle into his computer he can grab all the notes from the file it is still stored on since all notes taken on the kindle get stored inside of a single text file. It just wont have the placement in the book nor can it be accessed through the kindle since notes can only be accessed inside the books on the device.
