June 5, 2014: A 50 second video posted by Amazon featured people on YouTube has set of cat among the pigeons in the market. This video which shows people staring downward at something just off-camera has renewed speculation that Amazon.com would be doing a major product launch on June 18. The YouTube video and website posts suggest that the “launch event” would be in Seattle and will be hosted by CEO Jeff Bezos. Last time when the CEO hosted a press briefing in Seattle the company introduced a new version of its Kindle and Fire tablets. This time the speculation is high that the internet retailing giant would be unveiling some kind of a smartphone or a smart device.
Amazon.com had been recently working on a smartphone and according to a report in Wall Street Journal and various blogs; the company may be working on a phone with a three-dimensional display. The video which is going viral on YouTube shows people moving their heads from side to side and making comments like “it’s very real-life” and “I don’t know how you guys do it”. Amazon has done several hardware launches including the Fire TV streaming box in recent years which increases the speculation of launch of a smart device.
