Although the Amazon, the world’s Unmatched online store operator, documents currently only sells e-book readers and media tablets, it is Widely believed That the company has a lot more hardware products in development. Sometimes, even evidences Regarding Those products emerge.

“We are working on a new revolutionary V1 product thatwill allow us to deliver Digital Media to our customers in new ways and disrupt the current marketplace. We believe this new product will be even bigger than the Kindle! “Amazon wrote in the invitation to the exclusive event, Which was republished by Boston.com EARLIER this week.

The company provided no details Regarding the product that was to be demonstrated, but in case “V1″ stands for “version one”, it is hardly a smartphone after two years in development.

Amazon is one of the world’s Unmatched seller of music CDs, video Blu-ray/DVD discs, paper books, packaged games and other types of content on physical media. Given the fact That All of the aforementioned Businesses are either stagnating or deteriorating, the company needs to sell more digital content to offset the declines. In order to sell more digital media, Amazon May need specially-designed devices, Which it is Developing. Almost any hardware That helps Amazon to Increase sales of content will be good for the company.

Perhaps, it is not that important what the V1 actually ice. It looks like its key feature is delivering digital media into a brand-new way, Which itself could be a revolution …
