Amazon to launch 3D smartphone to incite mobile shoppers


Amazon.com is expected to launch its newest mobile device, a smartphone which will feature a 3D screen.

The new phone has 3D features visible to the eye without special glasses. Amazon's Prime membership program, which offers features such as movie streaming and two-day delivery, will be linked to the phone.

The phone is expected to boost adoption of an Amazon payments platform.

A phone is the third new device the company has introduced in 2014 after its FireTV streaming video device and Dash grocery-ordering wand.

The company recently has moved into hardware, selling its devices at cost in hopes of spurring purchases on Amazon's website.

comScore in a report said that mobile commerce has jumped at almost twice the rate of online retail during the first quarter.
