Amazon release cloud optimised web browsing

Amazon today announced their new line of Kindle e-ink based readers and the much rumoured tablet Amazon Kindle Fire. However the interesting aspect was not the new devices, but their new Amazon Kindle Silk. This is a cloud service for optimising web browsing from their new tablet and minimises the data traffic to the tablet as well offloading the cache, name resolution and data requests to the cloud. This looks an interesting use of the cloud services to optimise mobile device browsing while possibly allowing some stealthy tracking of your interests and online behaviour!
