What Amazon and HP are now learning from Apple

Amazon and HP are two of the few companies that are taking a page directly out of Apple's book (Palm with its new Pre is another) and benefiting from it.
Let's talk about the new Kindle 2, the Apple lesson Amazon is applying to sell it, and how HP is emulating Apple and approaching the SMB market as an integrated company.
