Today was the long anticipated introduction of the Amazon Kindle Fire Phone.
What rumored features interest you the most about this phone?
Did you know?
More than 25% of Amazon users are Prime members.
“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve”
I am pretty sure that W. Clement Stone was not talking about the new Amazon Fire Phone when he wrote that…but he could have been. We are living in the most technologically advanced society in history, and there seems to be no end in sight to what we are capable of. Ten years ago the general public had never heard of a “smartphone”. In 2007, Apple introduced it’s first iPhone, and the world went crazy. Now, just seven short years later, that revolutionary new phone is all but useless. With each new upgrade, each new technological advance, we put ourselves further and further into the future, and now the future is literally in the palm of our hands.
In less than 24 hours, Amazon is expected to introduce it’s new smartphone, the Fire Phone, and preliminary reports are that it is going to change the way that we do life. Radically.
No more do you have to go to the store, or multiple stores, price shop, debate over a purchase, then remember where you saw the best price and go back to the store to purchase it. With Amazon’s new Fire Phone, you simply say, scan or snap a picture of the item you’re searching for, and instantly you get price comparisons from Amazon and it’s merchants. Then, without even moving out of your seat, you purchase the item and track it from the warehouse to your front door. You will still have to get out of your chair and bring it in off of the front porch — they haven’t come up with an app for that yet — but I’m sure they will!
About 24 hours from now, Amazon is hosting a media event in Seattle, and if the rumors are true, they will be introducing their long-awaited, much anticipated smartphone. Reportedly called the “Fire Phone”, the new device has been the subject of leaks and speculation for some time. Amazon is taking the plunge into a highly competitive market controlled almost exclusively by Apple and Samsung. Previous attempts to enter the market have failed miserably (Nexus One, Blackberry anyone?) and Amazon is going to have to bring it’s A-game if it expects to succeed.
With just over a day to wait, there is still much speculation about the new phone, and questions aplenty. We’ll tackle some of them with what we know (or think we know).
In short, the consumers. Amazon is seeking to close the gap between “Hey, I want that” and “Hey, I own that”. The new phone will reportedly put every single feature that they offer on this new phone, connecting people with music, movies, shopping, reading and pretty much anything else that you could possibly need or want to do in life.
By bundling it’s services under it’s well known Prime package and offering incentives to buyers, Amazon could very well take a flying leap into the world of smartphones and not fall flat on it’s face.
Tomorrow morning 6/18/2014 at 10:30 am PST, Amazon is expected to debut their new smartphone–reportedly called the “Fire Phone”, and we’ll be right here covering the whole thing. Join us for a live blogging event as we report on this long awaited, much anticipated new device that, if rumors are true, will give Apple and Samsung a run for their money.
With a new data plan called Prime Data that is being carried exclusively by AT&T, rumored 3-D capabilities unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, and incentives tied to their wildly successful Prime-branded digital programs (music, video, shopping…) Amazon is taking a leap headlong into the smartphone market, and they are bringing their A-game.
We’ll provide live coverage, making sure that you have a first-hand look at what’s happening and what they are offering.
See you tomorrow morning 10:30 PST here!
On June 18th, Amazon is reportedly going to announce the release of it’s new “Fire Phone“–a long awaited smartphone from the Kindle gurus. This much anticipated new phone will, if it lives up to expectations, take owning a smartphone to a whole new level. It will be a veritable home-shopping network, and it’s hard to imagine that, given the success of it’s Kindle Fire tablet, the phone could possibly run anything other than Android.
Good for you. But I’ll bet you a cookie that you’re not using it like you could be. Sure, you’ve got all of your contacts stored in it, and your calendar is completely up-to-date, and you’ve got all those cute photos of Fluffy, your pet iguana…but I can still show you a thing or two. So sit back and listen up.
Kindle for Android might be the coolest thing ever invented. You just download the app, find the books that you want to read and Voila! You have an entire library packed into your purse, or briefcase, or diaper bag…Some things you can do include:
The Kindle for Android app also allows you to read magazines and newspapers, with the flexibility to purchase a single issue or a full subscription. See? Told ya it was cool!
