    I can actually see TI's soc division fitting quite well into Amazon's portfolio for the right price. Amazon has large interests in device manufacture, server infrastructure and cloud computing and if they really went for it having an SOC division could in the coming years be something of a boon. This of course assumes that Amazon is seriously considering moving into arm based servers for certain tasks as well using these chips to power its kindles.

    The Kindles already use TI OMAP SOCs.

    We know. That's not the point of the article.
