The indiscretion, inter alia, has once again a very authoritative source, i.e. the usual Wall Street Journal. Not an absolute guarantee of authenticity, but for sure if the New York newspaper makes certain claims, means that will have good reasons to publish certain news. Obviously the fact that the new smartphone Kindle both in testing, might not mean that we will have for hands as soon as possible. The experimentation takes time, especially for the usage in the long run. For this reason the WSJ expects that the new device will enter production later this year, at least in early 2013, so definitely arrive near the market next summer or spring.

As regards the internal features of the smartphone Kindle, it is not yet leaked anything. It is quite difficult to predict what will happen in this sense, given that one of the characteristics of the products of Amazon, in addition to their functionality and ease of use, has always been an excellent quality/price ratio. The Kindle Fire, promised not to battle new iPad in terms of equipment, absolutely unattainable by the tablet by Jeff Bezos, but from that of convenience. The only hardware item that has managed to collect so far relates to the display, which should have a diagonal between 4.5 and 5 inches. THERE is already talk of competing with giants like Samsung Galaxy S3, but first ensure that we see what kind of software and at least what kind of processor is equipped on the drive.

With regard to the operating system, it is very likely that will be chosen once Android. As you well know who has had the opportunity to try the Kindle Fire, however, the Android version used from Amazon is very particular and personalized, adapted to the needs of the parent company, who wanted to produce a tablet that had the classic duties of a “computer”, but at the same time not lost contact with its origin of e-book reader. This smartphone will have the same mission?

Unlikely, at least according to the usual “well informed”. Particularly interesting is the interview with Rick Sherlund, an analyst of Nomura. According to the expert, market, Microsoft would have serious intentions to produce a new smartphone, following the same line of the Surface. This phone could come to market over the next year and, of course, Windows Phone 8 as an operating system. It might be therefore this product one of the smartphone software product launch in Redmond where there was talk during the day of presentation of the tablet. Of course such a smartphone would be to Microsoft what the iPhone is for Apple, which is a hi-tech product designed specifically to work with the program that is pre-installed in his memory. In this way should be more stable and easily controllable by the user.

Doubts about such an operation, however, are not few. If on the one hand, Microsoft should rely on an Asian manufacturer to achieve this elusive new mobile phone, on the other hand the historical partner of Steve Ballmer would have found a bit dumbfounded in front of the exit of the Surface and a new appliance could permanently undermine their confidence in the company, always threatened by usually Android as a direct competitor. Moreover, Microsoft would have its good reasons: the recent crisis of Nokia, which has led to many layoffs and the closure of some production facilities, it is not for sure was a good business card for the Finnish House, which was to have been the main partner of Microsoft. Direct testimony is the range of Nokia smartphones Lumia.

There is, however, another theory. The pattern of behavior of Microsoft wouldn’t Apple, but Google, and this should reassure the partners. Google, in fact, is used to produce every year at least a couple of reference models on which producers may take ideas and inspirations for their mobile phones. If that were the case Surface, then the market for smartphone and tablet Windows wouldn’t in particular danger. To us, however, it does not appear that Surface can be really a reference product. We’ll see at time of release in stores which will be the truth.
