Amazon is the most impressive company, IMHO. I love my Echo, and I read on a "paperwhite" Kindle even though I have an iPad. I think Amazon could take over the phone market. Just make a phone that is an "Amazon remote control" with shopping, music, and video streaming built in, combined with Alexa that "just works". (Or a color e-ink phone with no video support, but a long battery life.)

Since when is Amazon building their own Phone OS? FireOS is built on Android, and as such is perpetually in Google's orbit. Where does Amazon succeed here where Facebook failed (and Amazon currently fails)?

  And I haven't heard many good things about FireOS. Their phones haven't done too well.

Amazon did make a phone and it didn't take off.

>I think Amazon could take over the phone market. No way. >ust make a phone that is an "Amazon remote control" with shopping, music, and video streaming built in The problem is the world is much bigger than Amazon. I buy from Amazon often, but I don't want it to be at the center of everything I do. I think most people would agree. That's why all their phones failed, and why the facebook phone failed too.
