Despite the fact that it could prove to bea spectacularly defective thought , hearsay are once again milling that Amazon is planning to plunge a telephone set . Now , Bloomberg reportsthat Bezos and co are in the summons of develop an Android French telephone .
Amazon Might Make a Kindle Phone — But It Really Should n’t
According to Bloomberg , two the great unwashed “ with knowledge of the affair ” have told it that Amazon is currently working with Foxconn to produce the machine , whichwould reportedlyrun a version of Android . Another sourcetold Bloombergthat Amazon is also in the process of growing its portfolio of wireless applied science patent of invention to assist complement the telephone set and “ aid it guard against allegations of violation ” .
The move would see Amazon attempt to take on Apple , along with other leading phone manufacturer like Samsung . But despite the Kindle Fire ’s winner in the tablet arena , we ’ve in the pastbeen skepticalabout the company duplicate that achievement in a headphone :
The Fire ’s minimalist UI just would n’t translate to a telephone set ’s small screenland - you could n’t understand anything . It ’d be a nightmare . So it ’d have to make their Android gadget seem more like an Android gadget , which would be a regrettable regress , and one less ground to care . What excitement is there in yet another Android earphone in a fiery lake of them , even if it carry Kindle stigmatisation and Prime memory access ? Without the shelf metaphor , the Fire would be just another tablet , and a Kindle phone would be just another handset .
So please , Amazon - stick with what you ’ve done well . Nobody thought you could perpetrate off a veridical tablet , but you did with aplomb . But do n’t get cocky . You ’ll screw it all up . mass might bribe the Fire because it says KINDLE on it , but they ’ll enjoy it because of the design . I doubt we ’ll be capable to say the same about a phone .
Of course , Bloomberg ’s reportmay be little more than crazy speculation . But mayhap , just maybe , pass on the ongoing rumblings there ’s something in it . If so , we ’ll be waiting nervously to see just how Bezos address it . [ Bloomberg ]
