Amazon's second smartphone could forego an app store.

Reuters said the phone is codenamed Transformer

AI integration is a “key focus” of Transformer, per Reuters’ sources, who said that Amazon wants the phone to drive usage of Amazon’s AI products

It’s unclear why Amazon thinks now is a good time to get back into phones. Even potentially low prices may not be enough to convince people to buy.

You ARE looking forward to this, right?

    Ah damn it. I got a fire tv a few years ago bc I could side load apps onto it unlike a Roku tv. Hopefully they don’t take down smart tube at least :/

      Yeah were kinda fucked ATP for “good” smart TV stuff. You could DIY it with an old PC or raspberry pi but unless we see a push for it from a major player (Like Graphene partnering with Motorola) itll probably be like this for the foreseeable future.
