The Amazon phone
is finally coming on June 18, and apparently, it'll really turn you on.
The phone supposedly has a fancy new 3D interface that uses multiple
cameras to make an image on the screen change as you move your head
around.
Mashable reports on the importance of digital innovation and how it empowers and inspires people around the world. Similarly, Yelp ratings would appear over restaurant listings on a map when a user tilts a device down. Tilting the phone left or right in Amazon’s own store app might page through product images, and tilting in the Kindle app could open the X-Ray feature, displaying more information about contextual details like plot, setting and characters. GameDock Apple hasn't had much luck in the gaming console department, but it has seen amazing success with gaming on its iOS devices. This illuminates much more clearly some suggestions about head movements leading to some gesture-based features mentioned in previous reports about Amazon’s smartphone ambitions, including third-party integration possibilities. Amazon taking big risks with a smartphone would be very different from its hardware strategy so far, which has mainly involved seeking cost advantage (Kindle Fire) or iterating very slightly on successful products already in the market (Fire TV). If the photo is real, the design looks like many others on the market. The gesture control features would allow users to tilt their phones to see labels on icons in certain apps, as in tilting up while browsing the Amazon video store to reveal IMDB ratings under movie titles. We also boast an active community focused on purchasing decisions and technical aspects of the iPhone, iPod, iPad, and Mac platforms. It wouldn't be the first phone with a 3D-enabled display; 3D phones, including the HTC Evo 3D appeared a few years ago, but they failed to get any traction. MacRumors attracts a broad audience of both consumers and professionals interested in the latest technologies and products. MacSince1990 8 weeks ago This looks amazing! 3D is going to be the next big thing.
It's expected to come with six cameras — four of which are front-facing cameras to help with the software's 3D effects, according to the report. Pretty soon all TVs, Movies, and Games consoles will be 3D, and everyone will want that experience on their phones as well. Other features detailed in the report including tilting while using the messaging app to access the phone’s camera roll for easy attachments, and tilting in the weather app to access the extended menu. If it’s also looking to replace the usual virtual button and swipe-based interfaces with physical device tilts (which also sounds like it could be hard on the eyes?) then this could be a very unusual smartphone launch over all. This looks amazing! 3D is going to be the next big thing. Rumors point to a possible announcement in the coming months with a target launch date of late September, but this may be subject to change.
Already, Amazon appears to be taking a big risk by betting that users will be wowed by 3D-head tracking for slightly 3D visual effects in the interface itself, with sort of an advanced take on iOS 7′s parallax effect (itself not overwhelmingly popular). So far, everything’s still just rumor, but the cumulative body of information coming from different sources does seem to point to a singular approach.
New details from BGR and TechCrunch shed some light on this 3D feature and possibly provide us with our first look at the phone, which is partially hidden inside a case. By shifting the position of the phone, users are able to see three-dimensional product images at different angles to reveal surfaces that cannot be seen in 2D photos. The phone seems to replace a lot of the functions associated with the home button on iPhone, or the persistent software keys on Android with gestures instead, and that’s a very risky paradigm shift. Mashable's record 34 million unique visitors worldwide and 15 million social media followers are one of the most influential and engaged online communities. The 3D capability of the phone may also provide a parallax effect, similar to that in iOS 7. The gesture control features would allow users to tilt their phones to see labels on icons in certain apps, as in tilting up while browsing the Amazon video store to reveal IMDB ratings under movie titles. According to our source, the flagship device, Duke, is powered by a heavily modified version of Android.
Apple and Samsung will be scrambling to catch up!!! I'm pretty sure most of us who've "experienced" 3D have already attested to the fact that we're neither impressed nor interested.
Amazon may use the 3D technology to showcase its own products, allowing users to explore a three-dimensional product images, claims BGR.Another smart use for the phone’s 3D effects is across Amazon’s various stores, such as its book store, music store and the main Amazon digital market. Twisting the ring would adjust the volume, while buttons would play, pause and skip. Twisting the ring would adjust the volume, while buttons would play, pause and skip.
According to BGR, multiple sources claim the phone will include a 4.7-inch display with 720p resolution, which is lower than the 1080p HD display in Samsung's flagship Galaxy S5 and less than the projected 1334x750 display that Apple may use in the iPhone 6. This great idea docks your iDevice, hooks it up to a big screen and adds some controllers and a hefty chunk of hard drive for saving your gaming progress. The 3D capability of the phone may also provide a parallax effect, similar to that in iOS 7.
Amazon's Smartphone with 3D Capabilities Revealed in New Photos Tuesday April 15, 2014 8:43 am PDT by Kelly Hodgkins Recent reports suggest Amazon may be preparing a smartphone with 3D capabilities to compete with Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy handsets. Kudos for originality, but we’ll see if this thing’s unique bits really end up being all that useful in practice.
Mashable is a leading source for news, information and resources for the Connected Generation. iRing The iRing concept gives you remote Bluetooth control of your iDevice. Under the hood, the Amazon phone is predicted to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 2GB of RAM.
Amazon's implementation in its FireOS may be greatly exaggerated as compared to Apple's version and supposedly is limited to only a few key gestures, reports TechCrunch. Apple and Samsung will be scrambling to catch up!!!.
Founded in 2005, Mashable is headquartered in New York City with an office in San Francisco. This looks amazing! 3D is going to be the next big thing. By way of four corner-mounted, front-facing cameras, a user can tilt the smartphone left or right to browse and access hidden side panels. You can also scroll with tilt in the Kindle and web browser app, the report claims. So far, everything’s still just rumor, but the cumulative body of information coming from different sources does seem to point to a singular approach. Amazon allegedly is showcasing the device to key developers as it tries to build third-party support for the platform before it is launched. At launch, there will be just a couple of added gestures built into the operating system that utilize this system.

Kudos for originality, but we’ll see if this thing’s unique bits really end up being all that useful in practice. That’s an awful lot of tilting, if this is all true, and that means a lot of wrist and hand movement that smartphone users aren’t going to be accustomed to.

You can also scroll with tilt in the Kindle and web browser app, the report claims. The biggest differentiator between Amazon's smartphone and those from Apple and Samsung is a 3D feature, which allegedly uses up to 4 cameras and additional sensors embedded in the phone.

Recent reports suggest Amazon may be preparing a smartphone with 3D capabilities to compete with Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy handsets. However, Amazon is said to be planning custom 3D interface. Amazon’s upcoming smartphone will have a unique, gesture-based interaction method that involves tilting the phone to access new information and control on-screen elements, including flipping between pages, according to a new BGR report. Amazon allegedly is showcasing the device to key developers as it tries to build third-party support for the platform before it is launched. Other features detailed in the report including tilting while using the messaging app to access the phone’s camera roll for easy attachments, and tilting in the weather app to access the extended menu. iPhone Color No great tech advancements here, but a splash of official color for the iPhone and iPod touch wouldn't go unappreciated.
