Amazon Is Planning a Mystery Product Event for This Month - Webmaster News

Amazon posted a teaser trailer to YouTube on Wednesday about an upcoming product launch event for what could be its rumored 3D smartphone.

Members of the press aren’t the only ones invited to the event in Seattle on June 18. Amazon customers and developers can request attendance, too. To do so, click here.

The video is slim on actual details but rich in clues. First, it features user reactions who say things like, “I’ve never seen anything like this.” Others marvel at how “it moved with me” and “it’s very real life.”

The invite request page features a picture of what looks like a Amazon-branded phone with black casing. It looks strikingly similar to the alleged leaked photos of what’s said to be the 3D smartphone making the rounds online.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg is citing a source close to the matter saying the company is officially launching a smartphone this month, although the report didn’t clarify if it will include a 3D display.

Although it’s been long said that Amazon is planning custom 3D interface, it wouldn’t actually be the first phone with a 3D-enabled display. Various 3D phones, including the HTC Evo 3D appeared a few years ago, but they failed to get any traction.

It’s rumored to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM and will run Amazon’s customized version of Android known as Fire OS.

Eddy Cue: Apple"s Upcoming Product Pipeline Is the Best in 25 Years - Webmaster News

New Post has been published on http://www.outils-webmaster.eu/eddy-cue-apples-upcoming-product-pipeline-is-the-best-in-25-years/

 

Apple just bought Beats, but that doesn’t mean it’s not carefully planning the launch of its own products, and according to Apple SVP Eddy Cue, the company has some very exciting ones in the works.

“We’ve got the best product pipeline that I’ve seen in my 25 years at Apple,” Cue told Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg Wednesday at the Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

No specifics were given, and it could just be Apple’s standard pre-launch hype. However, 2014 really could be an interesting year for Apple.

We know that the company’s upcoming product lineup includes an iPhone — the question is, how many iPhones, and what will be their screen sizes? A rumor from May claimed the iPhone 6 might have a 4.7-inch screen and a very thin profile, and we’ve also heard talk about Apple launching more than one iPhone this year.

We can also expect Mac upgrades on all fronts (an ultrathin 12-inch MacBook Air is one of the most exciting rumors we’ve heard), and probably a new iPad Air and iPad mini.

Most importantly, we’ve heard talk about several completely new product categories, including a smartwatch and a smart home system.

We’ll know a little bit more about Apple’s plans at this year’s WWDC conference, which runs from June 2 – 6 at Moscone West in San Francisco. For the rest, we’ll probably have to wait until August or September.
