WSJ Confirms Amazon Smartphone with 4 to 5-in Screen

The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, July 11, 2012 confirmed that Amazon is broadening its mobile device offering with a smartphone that will have a 4 to 5-in screen.
Sources tell the WSJ that the smartphone is currently being tested and mass production could start by year end, or early next year.
Bloomberg reported on July 5 that Amazon is planning to launch a smartphone that will compete with Apple's iPhone and Android smartphones in the market.
Two sources told Bloomberg that Amazon has tied up with Chinese Foxconn International Holdings Ltd. (2038) and is acquiring wireless technology patents to ensure it doesn't get embroiled in patent infringement litigations.
Amazon's foray into the smart phone market is designed to boost sales of its digital content - digital books, songs and movies. It earlier ventured into the Android tablet market with its Kindle Fire.
Amazon's smartphone is likely to be powered by Google's Android OS, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Amazon declined to comment on the Bloomberg report.
In November 2011, Mark Mahaney, an analyst at Citigroup Inc., said that Amazon is planning to release a smartphone.
