Live release is going on now. Interesting phone but curious on this. Solid technology so far. Also locked screen camera taking for quick shots. Hello perverts. [http://live.theverge.com/amazon-phone-liveblog/](http://live.theverge.com/amazon-phone-liveblog/) ---

Apple suspected they might come out with one which is prolly why the keynote was only software/developer related and nothing about new products. Sent from my iPhone 5 ---

[quote=“HouseS2K,post:2,topic:269749"”] Apple suspected they might come out with one which is prolly why the keynote was only software/developer related and nothing about new products. [/quote] Apple hasn’t released a phone during their **developer** conference since 2010’s iPhone 4. I doubt it has anything to do with Amazon’s release unless they were so scared of Amazon’s bastardized Android offering that they’ve skipped releasing phones at WWDC for the past 4 years. 🙂 ---
