the Amazon phone is coming that's almost certainly what the company is going to announce at its big press event this Wednesday if the months the years really of rumors are true here's what we can expect much like its Kindle Fire tablets the Amazon smartphone is expected to run a forked version of Android Amazon even has its own App Store which it says now has more than 240,000 apps and games and rumors have long pointed to some sort of glasses-free 3d user interface supposedly the phone's interface will move as the user tilts their head around and may even display more information about something when the phone is tilted in fact Amazon's teaser video all but confirms that with various scenes of head wobbling no one's quite sure how the 3d technology will work or what it'll look like on the phone but leaves photos suggest the device will track your head using upwards of four front-facing cameras as far as specs go BGR which also posted the leaked pictures says it has a 4.7 inch 720p display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that would put it right in line with last year's Moto X which is a decidedly mid-tier phone of course the 3d might end up being nothing more than just a novelty where Amazon can really stand out is on cost Amazon's always priced its devices aggressively forgoing profits on the hardware in exchange for more people using Amazon services it already uses advertising to offset the cost of its Kindle lineup and is experimented with interest-free payment plans for its Kindle Fire tablets the Kindle Fire is nothing if not a portal to Amazon storefront it's a way to use its multitude of services like Prime instant video and now streaming music but tablets are secondary devices the ones you use when lying around the house or traveling with a smartphone Amazon could own your primary device the one that's always in your pocket and constantly being used all of this leads me to mr. Pines purple house Amazon sent attendees a copy of the book ahead of the event with a note from Jeff Bezos who called it his favorite childhood book it's certainly one of the weirdest gestures we've ever seen from a tech company in the story mr. pine had a little white house that looked exactly like the other 50 white houses on the street so mr. pine paints his house purple and while it inspires every other homeowner to paint their house different colors nobody else chooses purple so what's Amazon trying to say here that it's found a way to stand out from the competition that people will try to copy them but won't be the same maybe this whole event is just gonna be a live reading of mr. pines purple house well members of the press actually paint Jeff Bezos house either way we wouldn't miss it it's gonna be something you
