I must admit though when I first read about Silk, handing over my data, credit cards, heck even my email accounts over to Amazon was a bit worrying. However, thinking along the lines of the average Joe or Jane, the potential security that Amazon can wrap around your EC2 Host Proxy will almost certainly what they normally have. Then there is the potential here to also have a continuous 'web persona' that could allow many things that we have wished for as well. Like a particular band? Your persona notes when and where it comes close to your area. Trip bookings (all types), eBay bid watching, appointments calendering as well as missed phone and chat messages? Again, serious potential to be developed here. I'm sure Microsoft is green with envy, not just green with money
