More Amazon Fire phone features
The Amazon phone is
full of little touches, like swipes, to make it easier to use. Bezos and
Co. seem very keen to make the Fire Phone as user-friendly as possible,
probably hoping to keep their customer satisfaction rankings cozy in
their No. 1 slots.
Following in line with the Kindle
tablets, the phone features a dedicated Mayday button to connect to
customer support. It will work over Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G, and is free.
Because
video is so tied to the Amazon experience, the company has included a
number of video features with its first handset. IMDB's X-Ray is headed
to the Fire Phone, and Second Screen lets uses Miracast video from their
Fire phone to their Fire TV. ASAP, another Fire TV feature, is also making it to its phone-y cousin.
The Kindle Store, Audible, Kindle Newstand and the recently purchased Comixology are accessible on the phone.
Taking
advantage of Amazon's digital content library, the Fire provides
"instant access" to over 33 million songs, apps, games, movies, TV
shows, books, audiobooks and magazines. Prime members will get unlimited
streaming access to movies and TV episodes at no extra chard. The same
sort of deal applies to Kindle Owners' Lending Library and Prime Music members.
An
enhanced carousel features "active widgets" that show you the last
several messages, emails or alerts in your various communication and
organization apps.
The info pops up right on the home
screen and users can deal with it without ever wandering away.
Third-party apps can come up with their own uses; USA Today flashed
headlines that are relevant to a user while Zillow popped up property
information based on location.
The Music app features a
"three-panel design," with the left for navigation, the center for
various controls and the right with lyrics.
