Amazon is hiring up for a stealth startup in Cupertino that goes by Lab126. The startup says it is working on a "groundbreaking, highly integrated consumer product." So what do they have under their sleeve?

The start-up's President is Gregg Zehr who was VP of Hardware Engineering at palmOne, VP Engineering at VA Linux and VP PowerBook Engineering at Apple. Other staff come out of Apple and Palm. It seems that they are creating an iTunes competitor and one blogger speculates that they may even be creating an iPod competitor.
