Oprah Behind the Wheel of the New Kindle?

Amazon is holding a party in New York City on February 9.  The occasion?  Well, we can only speculate at this point. According to Forbes, the company will likely introduce a sleeker and more powerful Kindle electronic reader.  Rumors are swirling around faster performance, a touchscreen and better access to content. Oprah named it her "favorite new gadget" in 2008, which I'm assuming sent their sales soaring. As a thank you, maybe she had some input on the new features.  Can you imagine GPS (Gayle Positioning System) or SMS (Stedman Messaging Service) added?
