let's see how good Amazon is at keeping
a secret I'm Bridget Carey and this is
your cnet update amazon has a secret
project and it's got people wondering if
it's an Amazon phone that's because a
former manager for Windows Phones is now
working at Amazon his name is Charlie
Kindel and he wrote some cryptic
descriptions on his LinkedIn page like
how he's working on a secret project and
it's something wonderful he also wrote
he's building a new team for a totally
new area for Amazon and he's hiring
cloud and mobile developers we've heard
rumors about Amazon tinkering with
phones for some time now and this seems
like another clue that it could be
happening not to mention how poetic
would it be that the company behind the
Kindle hired someone named Kindle to
make a new Kindle device some exciting
news in the world of syncing your files
Amazon Cloud Drive updated so now when
you upload a file you can access it off
other devices when signing into a drive
account that means it's more like Google
Drive or Dropbox and speaking to Dropbox
yahoo mail users can now access dropbox
accounts from the email inbox that means
you can attach a file from dropbox to a
message or save attachments into dropbox
