Amazon is building their own smartphone

So the rumors are true. Amazon is planning to launch its own smartphone and it might make its appearance tomorrow during Amazon’s press event.

Multiple sources have confirmed to The Verge that Amazon is indeed working on a smartphone and will run its own version of the Android OS. The device is said to be unfinished but is expected to run Android 4.0 and will include Nokia maps for its navigation system like its tablet relatives.

So far no further details have been leaked but let’s wait for tomorrow’s event to find out if we’re going to see more than just tablets.

this is the nice thing about the android OS, with so many phone manufacturers taking the plunge, the clear winner is always the consumer – more choices, lower prices, best value for your money, great specs unlike IOS which forces you to accept anything what they shove up your ass and still be happy paying for it.

Even IOS is a choice, don’t be too obviously bitter by the choices made by other people.

Its good that Amazon is also diving in to the smartphone market.I hope they come up with their original smartphone.Dont want them to suffer from patent issues like what happened to Samsung recently.

Thanks for ripping off the verge. Three paragraphs of NOTHING and a picture. It’s great you managed to include the source though. Yugatech is better than a shitty article like this. I’ve been a fan of this site for so long its disappointing to see shitty articles like this.
