Amazon Is Planning a Mystery Product Event for This Month

Amazon posted a teaser trailer to YouTube on Wednesday about an upcoming product launch event for what could be its rumored 3D smartphone.

Members of the press aren't the only ones invited to the event in Seattle on June 18. Amazon customers and developers can request attendance, too. To do so, click here.

The video is slim on actual details but rich in clues. First, it features user reactions who say things like, "I've never seen anything like this." Others marvel at how "it moved with me" and "it's very real life."

The invite request page features a picture of what looks like a Amazon-branded phone with black casing. It looks strikingly similar to the alleged leaked photos of what's said to be the 3D smartphone making the rounds online.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg is citing a source close to the matter saying the company is officially launching a smartphone this month, although the report didn't clarify if it will include a 3D display.

Although it's been long said that Amazon is planning custom 3D interface, it wouldn't actually be the first phone with a 3D-enabled display. Various 3D phones, including the HTC Evo 3D appeared a few years ago, but they failed to get any traction.
