Fire, Amazon’s first smartphone, is now available at AT&T stores throughout the US and online at www.att.com/firephone or www.amazon.com/firephone.
Fire is the only smartphone with Dynamic Perspective and Firefly. Dynamic Perspective is an entirely new sensor system that responds to the way a customer holds, views and moves the phone. The Dynamic Perspective SDK gives developers access to algorithms that identify the X, Y and Z coordinates of the head, enabling a whole new class of apps and games. Firefly quickly recognizes things in the real world—web and email addresses, phone numbers, QR and bar codes, movies, music, and millions of products, and lets the user take action in seconds—all with the simple press of the Firefly button. With the Firefly SDK, developers can extend the use of the Firefly button to enable new actions their users can take based on what they identify.
If you’re ready to get your app on Fire phone, you can test your app today. For more information on the Fire phone SDKs, click here.
