A report by the Financial Times claims that Amazon is working
on its own Kindle smartphone called the “Kindle Phone” together with smartphone
manufacturer HTC. The new Kindle Phone is made to compete with Google and Apple. The financial
Times sources claim that there will be 3 different models, of which one is very
close to “final release”. The first rumors of an Amazon Smartphone started 2
years ago, on which Amazon replied it currently has “no plans on making a smartphone”,
but it seems like they have changed their mind.
In the development of the smartphone together with HTC, Amazon is
acting very much like Google since
it will be taking care of the software part mostly while HTC provides both the
Hardware and is in charge of the Design. It won’t be the first time Amazon releases a hardware product, it already has the Kindle Fire HD
tablet and it isn’t the first
time that HTC partners up with a company either, it has also manufactured the
Facebook smartphone.
