I almost missed this news release, when Amazon released its new Kindle lineup they also released a new browser called Amazon Silk.

Silk uses Amazon’s Elastic Compute cloud to give its users a desktop-like browsing experience on the Kindle Fire. Its WebKit-based, uses Google’s SDPY HTTP-replacement protocol and supports Flash 10, and its being touted as a perfect tool to bridge the gap between mobile and desktop browsers.

We sought from the start to tap into the power and capabilities of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure to overcome the limitations of typical mobile browsers. Instead of a device-siloed software application, Amazon Silk deploys a split-architecture. All of the browser subsystems are present on your Kindle Fire as well as on the AWS cloud computing platform. Each time you load a web page, Silk makes a dynamic decision about which of these subsystems will run locally and which will execute remotely. In short, Amazon Silk extends the boundaries of the browser, coupling the capabilities and interactivity of your local device with the massive computing power, memory, and network connectivity of our cloud.
