Amazon is sending out invites for a recruitment event in Boston, US, through which it is looking for people to help its existing team of creative leaders and engineers in creating a product that will be bigger than Kindle.
The invite doesn’t specifically highlight a great deal about the ‘revolutionary V1 [version 1] product’, but it is evident that it is to do with something that delivers digital media to its customers in new ways.
Smartphone or Set-top Box or …
So what could be this revolutionary product? There are a few things that we can spread out bets on. First it’s the long rumoured smartphone. A smartphone may fit the bill to some extent, but it isn’t necessarily a device solely aimed at delivering digital media.
Next up it could be a set-top box which had a fair share of its rumour pie in 2013. There were reports that Amazon will equip its set-top box with capabilities of streaming video over the web, and possibly new ways of delivered digital media, but a set-top box will not be mobile to the extent that it can catch the attention of mobile workers and those who are on the move constantly.
What do you think Amazon is up to? Let us know in the comments section.
In the UK Amazon is feeling a little generous after being awarded the no. 1 title in customer satisfaction. The online retailer is offering £25 discount on all Kindle tablets including Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire HDX this weekend.
