The California deal is that everyone will work for a year to try to get Congress to change the federal laws covering internet sales and sales taxes.

If Congress passes a new law, most states will start collecting internet sales taxes.

"Amazon and major brick-and-mortar retailers like Wal-Mart and Barnes & Noble agreed to lobby Washington over the next 11 months for an Internet sales tax law that applies across 50 states."

If Congress passes a federal law, California will start collecting internet sales taxes as of January 2013.

If Congress doesn't pass a federal law, Amazon has agreed to the Sept 2012 start of tax collection.

Amazon has always said they were in favor of collecting sales taxes, just they wanted a national solution not state by state.
