Hello Amazon? Why a New Smartphone?

Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!

So Amazon has joined the Smartphone wars.  Introduced today in Seattle, The fire PHONE.  It has a 4.7 inch screen, LCD HD display, claims to have a brighter screen that is better outdoors and a Quad-core 2.2GHz processor. Amazon also says it has a 13MP camera with image stabilization.

It also has a feature called Firefly.  Firefly uses the camera to recognize books, DVDs, phone numbers, QR Codes, CDs, URLs, games and bar codes.  It recognizes over a hundred million items and finds them in its database. 

So what’s the big deal that could make this phone a stand out game changer? 

Dynamic Perspective.  It gives the display a 3-D look, so as you move the phone, the picture on the display moves with you much like the moving animated backgrounds work on the iPhone 5s.  Dynamic Perspective works on photos, maps, the web browser and e-books.  The fire PHONE uses 4 additional cameras with infrared capability to guide the Dynamic Perspective screen orientation.

But even with all of these creative new features, will consumers find practical uses for them? And, can Amazon compete in the App arena given Apple’s huge inventory of available Apps?

The fire PHONE looks very cool.  Now we’ll need to hear from the tech geeks as to whether they are impressed to make this new Amazon product a contender.

Is it an iPhone killer?
