Late last week , Wall Street Journal vets Jessica Lessin and Amir Efraticlaimed that an Amazon phone launching was imminent , and that the handset would be gratis . Amazon hasresponded to those claims , stating that neither is dead on target .
Despiteongoing rumorsabout an Amazon phone , we ’re not really any closer to knowing what Bezos & Co. is call up about it . Now , though , Amazon hastold Lessin and Efratithat it has no intentions of releasing a phone this year , and furthermore , it would n’t be free if it did anyway .

Of of course , that ’s a company line , and could just be the story that Amazon is take to tell . But there ’s probably some truth in the idea that the phone would n’t be altogether complimentary . In reality , it seems most likely that the twist would just be heavily subsidise — like the Kindle Fire — in a bid to encourage consumers to purchase apps and media through Amazon .
Realistically , it ’s tough to know when and what to have a bun in the oven from an Amazon phone , and this latest rumor does n’t really further our understanding at all — aside from telling us that we probably have a bit longer to expect than we thought on Friday . [ Jessica Lessin ]
