- Amazon President, Jeff Bezos
This summer consumers will be able to buy a smartphone and an android-style cell phone. While the particulars are not yet known, there are rumors that the phone will be: 1) cheaper than the now pricey monthly charges, 2) access to TV and movie streaming through the Amazon program, Prime Instant Video 3) access to the Amazon Cloud Music Player and 4) access to the AT &T's program, Sponsored Data. Here is what Julian D'Onfro recently wrote in Business Insider.
Sponsored Data, announced in January, allows companies to pay for users' data traffic for certain apps and services, meaning that data used up on a designated app wouldn't count toward the user's monthly data cap. In whatever way Prime Data manifests itself, sources told BGR that it will be a key selling point for the Amazon smartphone.
Despite all the bells and whistles, I suspect Amazon will have to come up with a very flashy design, good audio capacity and a thin size to fit into all those pockets, briefcases and purses. Lastly, can they make one with better e-mail voice activation for those of us who are tired of typing on small screens? They might have the capability with their Whispersync software.
