On Wednesday, while Jeff Bezos was taking the stage to unveil the Kindle Fire (our impressions here) and its new Silk browser, Amazon employees were furiously buying up about 500 different Website domain names related to the Kindle Fire and Silk. All of the purchases were defensive, but a few of them hint that Amazon may have broader plans for its Silk browser. The online retailer may bring its browser to PC, Mac, Windows Phone, Windows Shop, and Android. Registrations for “silkontablets.com” and “silkonsmartphones.com” hint at even broader support.Of course, these registrations could mean nothing at all. It’s quite possible that Amazon may register them just in case it ever decides to open up the Silk browser to other platforms. It’s impossible to say.Amazon’s Silk browser uses the company’s cloud infrastructure to make web pages load faster by splitting the load between users and Amazon’s fancy EC2 servers.
