The Wall Street Journal is report that Amazon ’s Lab126 — Godhead of the Kindle , Fire Phone , andAmazon Echo — is laying off dozens of engineers . That ’s a pity . Some consolation : now we can hear about the gadget they were on the QT building !
Here are the projects still brewing in Amazon ’s Silicon Valley lab , fit in to the WSJ study :
1 . ) A kitchen computing machine , codename Kabinet . It ’s “ designed to dish out as a hub for an net - connected dwelling house and able of taking voice command for tasks like ordering merchandise from Amazon.com , ” fit in to the Journal ’s sources .
2 . ) A Kindle e - reader with a two - twelvemonth shelling . “ Engineers at Lab126 also said they hope to make a battery for Kindle e - reader that could last up to two old age on a single burster , up from the current six weeks to two months . ”
3 . ) A tablet with an autostereoscopic 3D projection screen ( like the Nintendo 3DS ) . It has “ images that will seem to bolt down out at the user without wearing special glass , ” as match to the Amazon Fire Phone ’s imposter 3D effect .
Nearly as interesting are the devices that Amazon ’s Silicon Valley gadget lab is no longer build , according to the publication . Those include a 14 - inch tablet , a digital style that could create shopping lists ( presumptively for product you ’d then order from Amazon ) , and a projector call in Shimmer .
Oh , and perhaps Amazon ’s done building smartphones for the fourth dimension being , too . reference tell the WSJ that plans for a new , stripped down Fire Phone have been delayed indefinitely .
