Amazon has registered domain names that indicate it may plan to bring its Silk browser to PC, Mac, Android, and Windows Phone platforms.

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.
