Amazon "Mobile First" Efforts
Amazon's mobile efforts span a range of initiatives, as illustrated by Business Insider, including e-readers, tablets, the Amazon Appstore, Kindle content and possibly mobile advertising or smart phones.

Amazon and Apple arguably will compete more directly, in the mobile realm, based on their commerce efforts, while Google and Facebook will compete more directly in advertising and promotion elements of the mobile business, one might argue.
Gary Kim has been a digital infra analyst and journalist for more than 30 years, covering the business impact of technology, pre- and post-internet. He sees a similar evolution coming with AI. General-purpose technologies do not come along very often, but when they do, they change life, economies and industries.
