Google the innovator

After they announced cutting "dark matter" projects last Dec, Google has launched more new products/features than ever. Offline GMail and Outlook Synch, Android for netbooks, Java support in App Engine, Mobile BookSearch.
Most recently, they added some nice navigation features to the main book search site.
Comparing with Google, Amazon is not moving forward, but merely lingering around along its previous trajectory. Sure, Kindle2 and Kindle DX are nice devices, but they are contracted job based on well-known and widely used parts. Where is the true innovation?
 It's time to wake up from the complacency and look beyond the excel sheet.

Or maybe I am expecting too much. Maybe surviving the Great Depression is already the largest feast one can hope for.
