Amazon will announce its own smartphone by June, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal. The device is expected to begin shipping a few months later in September. Amazon has reportedly been showcasing early prototypes to developers in San Francisco and Seattle in recent weeks. The Journal also corroborates previous reports that the upcoming phone will be capable of displaying 3D content without requiring users to wear special glasses

Amazon's tablets run a heavily modified version of Android.

Their smartphone will be no different.

Any photos of the prototype? This will probably be the phone that finally gets me off my iPhone. Though, the 3D stuff just sounds like a pricey feature I won't want nor need.

It actually will probably be cheap if it is from Amazon, at least cheaper than the newest Galaxy or iPhone, since Amazon doesn't care about making profits.

Is my sarcasm meter broken? They're a publicly traded company, they care about profits.
