"It'll be interesting to see if Amzn can kill the competition with Junglee's price-comparision technology, i here it's the best." There are numerous companies with similar technology and several ones that are developing stuff based on "artificial intelligence", neural program algorithms, and related technologies that will enter the field. This is a robust and developing area. Jango and other shop bots were there first and Amazon.com was aware of more them a couple of years ago. The fact that Amazon.com didn't develop their own "technology" (yea, sure) or do something in this direction sooner (and cheaper) tells me they have basic flaws in their vision that they are now forced to try to correct. Mark, as I pointed out weeks ago, do some research on the subject and see what's out there on the deep technical discussion sites and under-way at several companies before you start taking about how great or unique the move was. Necessary given Amazon.com was uncapable or too late to develop it themselves? Yes. Unique, no.
