Article is a hit-piece; author is being willfully ignorant/misleading. > Amazon’s newest investments aren’t paying off. The most notable failure has been the Fire phone, which has received terrible reviews. > And the Fire phone was a big bet that has not worked. He says this as if the Fire phone will now be canceled so that Amazon can try some other random experiment. The Fire phone was the first iteration of what will be a very long experiment, the same as every other product launched by a large corporation (e.g., Android, iOS, Kindle Fire tablet). How many times have we heard "It's over, Google's Android is finished" in the past decade, only to now see Android sales accelerated way beyond iOS and iOS sales stagnate? The above is obvious to anyone who follows tech, thus leading me to believe the author has crafted a hit piece. Disclaimer: I am employed by Amazon and own Amazon stock.
