Amazon Says it won't Launch a Phone this year, and it won't be Free

Addressing an previously post on writer Jessica Lessin's website, Amazon is now informing Lessin's team that it won't be selling its own smart phone in 2013 — and if it does decide to gradually release one, it won't be free.

The declaration goes against Lessin's previously report, which had stated that the retail store massive was considering providing its mobile phones at no cost. At that time, no details were provided on how Amazon might make it happen, but it's safe to believe that it would include subscribers to some mixture of the organization's solutions like Primary — such as a video loading element — or Amazon kindle.

Even without providing a cellphone to customers at no charge, it's possible that Amazon could still package its solutions in such a way to offer the cellphone relatively at low costs without making use of a traditional wi-fi agreement, particularly since Amazon's forked edition of Android operating system — which doesn't include any Google solutions out of the box — motivates customers to trim more intensely on Amazon's own environment for applications and content.
