As the leader for cloud computing and infrastructure-as-a-service, Amazon Web Services (AWS)provides computing applications worldwide. Recently, they were here in Malaysia to introduce their services to Malaysian startups and app developers. Their basic services include Compute, Storage, CDN, Databases and Networking which allows for various yet specific functions with practically no limitations in terms of hardware. Granted, the closest AWS data centers are located in Singapore but according to AWS Asia Pacific there is almost no latency (just 13ms) which means nearly no lag at all. Some of the new cloud computing trends includes big-data such as real-time analytics so you can know if your online product is actually doing work and more. AWS takes most of the trouble required to setup such services like Big Data which may include building the actual Hadoop hardware cluster or the skilled professionals capable of maintaining and operating said Hadoop Big Data clusters. This example clearly defines the advantages of AWS for startups and developers as it means that users can just use the service, pay for what they use and then throw them away when they don't need them any more.

Tech specs are quite high end, with a 2.2GHz quad-core processor, 4.7-inch display amd 13MP f/2.0 rear camera with Optical Image stabilization. However, the biggest feature on the Fire Phone is it's 3D effect interface which works through the use of four front-facing infra-red cameras. These track the position of your head and adjust the interface accordingly. Apart from looking very pretty, the cameras also allow for automatic scrolling just by turning your head.

Amazon has recently revealed a teaser video showing various people commenting on a still unnnamed and unannounced Amazon device. The comments hint that either the UI or the display could have 3D capabilities as they include "very real life", "pretty damn intuitive" while looking at the device from several different angles. The teaser ends with a reveal date set for 18 June 2014. No news yet on whether it could be another tablet, ebook reader or smartphone, but most rumours indicate that it would be an Amazon smartphone. These rumours go on to say the tech specs for such a device could include a quad-core Snapdragon processor, 2GB RAM, 4.7-inch display with 720p pixel resolution, a 13MP camera and a modified Android. Since this is Amazon, we expect it to only be officially available in the US but there should be workarounds if you're still interested. No news on pricing either, and as always, do take such rumours with a pinch of salt. Stay tuned for more developments.

While not having much of hardware pedigree behind it Amazon has done some amazing things with mobile devices, introducing their Kindle Fire tablets and ebook readers. Now, rumour has it that they're working on a 4.7" smartphone (much along the same lines and design as the Samsung Galaxy S III). Like so many other rumours of this kind, this one was sparked from component makers, in this case those dealing with smartphone specific components. So far other specifications are few and far in between and the only concrete news that we have is that the Amazon smartphone will probably feature the aforementioned 4.7" screen.
