Yesterday in Seattle, Washington Jeff Bezos CEO of Amazon announced the latest contender for Apple's crown, the Amazon Fire Phone. With pricing of $649 for a SIM free 32Gb and $749 for a 64Gb phone it is definitely targeted at the high end market. Prices are cheaper when bought with a 2 year airtime contract with AT&T.

The Amazon Fire features all the specifications that you would expect from a top of the range smartphone including a 4.7 inch 720p screen, a Qualcomm quad core Snapdragon processor running at 2.2Mhz, LTE/4G communications, and of course GPS.

To make it unique it has new technology known as "Dynamic Perspective". This works off 4 infrared cameras in the front of the phone enabling the software to track eye movements and faces which allows the phone to determine how the user is holding the device and to respond accordingly.
