"Rumors have been in the air for several months that claim Amazon will compete in the handset space with its own offering, much like it did with its Kindle Fire line of tablets. According to a new report from the Taiwan Economic News, the Internet retail giant has selected the infamous Foxconn to manufacture the handset. Additionally, Amazon is said to have ordered 5 million units and will launch the device at $100 to $200 sometime in the second quarter or third quarter of 2013."

How Will an Amazon Smartphone Impact Apple?
What do you folks think the impact of an Amazon Smartphone will have on Apple (and its stock price)?

Watching the rapid decline of Apple product quality since roughly Steve stopped working makes me think they are not up to the challenge of whatever the next category is.
Steve Jobs definitely had all sorts of talents - the one I think that has been the least written about, and the hardest I think to replace, is "NO MAN".
He spent (I surmise) the better part of every day saying no to things. No to features. No to projects. No to products. No to categories.
The reason HP, Dell, IBM, SAP, etc. have such problems with their "enterprise" product portfolios is that there is no one person with the authority, the fortitude and the talent to say "NO".
