Amazon keeps denying it has any interest in producing a smart phone, and yet rumors persist that it is indeed working on potential devices.
Most assume Amazon would have interest primarily in creating a device that is commerce oriented, as Google has interests in information-related devices, Facebook in social networking or Apple benefits from content-capable devices.
So TechCrunch suggests Amazon is working on a multi-camera device that would enable three-dimensional features that would obviously provide a better visualization of products.
Other technologies said to be under development are image recognition features that would allow a user to take a picture of an object and then find that object, or similar objects for sale on Amazon.
