The Verge takes a look at the Newly announced smartphone from the company Amazon The Amazon Fire Phone so check it out and as always enjoy!
Amazon isn't out the news today just yet according to CEO of Blackberry John Chen the struggling OEM has struck a exclusive deal to have access to Amazon's android based App Store for it's next iteration of it's Mobile OS BB10(10.3) this is exciting news because if it was one thing blackberry was lacking was Apps now they just need to bring out a power house non touch and touch phone and see them gains word to da hodge twins...........
Today was an exciting day for the company Amazon in the past few months it has launched some exciting new services but today something bigger and better was launched.
The Amazon Fire Phone yes that's right they love using the term fire(similar to Samsung's Galaxy line) The Fire Phone will come exclusively to AT&T July 25th with a 2 year contract, 199$ for 32GB and 299$ for 64GB(650$ off contract)
Specs:
2.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Adreno 330 for Graphics
2GB of Ram
13 Megapixel Camera
32/64GB of Storage
4.7 inch IPS LP HD Screen
So what are your thoughts would you buy this phone?
Amazon offers a wide variety of services from nick nacks, video games, sneakers, groceries, movies, and even music, so it's no surprise that Amazon wants to get into the music streaming game(it seems like every other day a new service is made) but of course like everything in life there is a catch. The service will not include any album or music material released within the last six months, a major bummer but will see how it's prime streaming service goes up against the likes of Spotify, Pandora, and iTunesRadio/Beats.......
Amazon is on a hot streak as of late and it seems like they don't plan on stopping. Just recently Amazon announced a partnership with social media giant Twitter, the partnership between the companies gives it's users a unique way to shop.
Let's say your cousin just tweeted they got a PS4 bundle with a game and control via amazon and you yourself wanted a playstation all you would have to do is respond to the tweet with #amazoncart and bam it's automatically added to your amazon cart. This allows you to instantly add things to your cart with out physically having to visit amazon.
Now I'm sure you'll have to link your twitter account with your Amazon account of course. But there is something's to be worried about like what if your twitter account ever was to be compromised someone could definitly go on a twitter shopping spree literally. I think it's a cool and creative idea of course but let's hope the 2 companies have some sort of security in place to insure no one can make purchase under certain conditions
What do you guys think sound like something you would try? I might give it a try sounds like something you would use for game releases or something that is going to sell out instantly
So we heard rumors of the Amazon Smartphone and above is supposedly a rendering of said phone(looks like a mix of the Nexus 4 and Iphone 5)
Along with the above picture we also have the supposed specs of Amazons first official smartphone
Specs:
4.7 inch 720p 3D Display
Quad Core SnapDragon Chip
2 GB of Ram
Six Individual Camera Modular for gesture controls
The smartphone will also be running a heavily forked version of android like their kindle fire tablet lines.
I'm not sure how much of a hit this phone is going to be but it sounds along the lines of last years Moto X so will see once it drops......
As I was surfing da interwebz as the kids say I came across a article on BGR for what ever that's worth. The article was touching on a Newley announced service from Amazon called Amazon Prime Pantry so being curious I went on yahoo(because ios 7 you can't save pictures in google images that's for another post) and did some good old research.
After Yahooing I found out basically Amazon is trying to get at the grocery market and make some changes. So the service known as Pantry allows you to order non perishable items let's say cleaning stuff, poptarts for those late night munchies, and cereal for your bad ass kids.
How it works is you add the items to the cart like any order and while doing so it let's you know how much space your box has and is currently filled with. You can fill your Prime Pantry box either up to 45 pounds or 4 cubic feet and the box is 5.99$ Flat fee.
As far as shipping goes Amazon claims within 4 days but you know how it goes with Amazon you either get it early or a few days late so let's say 4-10 days respectfully. In all realness this sounds like a legit great idea if you think about it you don't have to re up on non perishable items as much as things like eggs,milk, meat,fruit, and veggies so waiting a few days for these items won't hurt
But how do you guys feel about this gonna try it out? Or just stick to weekend trips to walmart/wegmans dealing with slow cart pushers and indesicive people?
The verge gives us a hands on look at today's recently announced set top box from the company Amazon
As if we didn't need another useless slab of black hardware sitting near our tvs the king of shopping Amazon announced Fire tv.
A 2GB of RAM, dedicated GPU and a quad-core processing beast that allows amazon prime instant video, apps, gaming, and sharing those god awful pictures your mother supposedly deleted when family comes over.
Amazon is trying to bring some diversity to a already crowded area but with it's pricing, Eco system, and muscle I'm sure they can carve out a niche and take away some of those customers from apple and others.
So how do you guys feel? Another object not needed to sit next to others you've acquired threw compulsive purchases? Or something that will actually make life easier and enjoyable while being a couch potato
Looks like Amazon has a hit on it's hands so much so that it recently announced it was raising it subscription fee for its Prime service from 79$ to 99$...............
