Amazon Smartphone Release Date Rumor Amazon ( AMZN ) has reportedly contracted Foxconn to build its long-rumored Kindle smartphone according to the Taiwan Economic News . The news corroborates Digitimes report late last month that Foxconn will have the smartphones ready for a mid-2013 launch. The site claims Amazon has ordered 5 million smartphones with each unit said to cost between $100 to $200. Finally, the report states Foxconn will be working with touch panel makers J Touch and Young Fast Optoelectronics to receive supply parts for Amazon s smartphones. J Touch Corp. recently revealed a 5-inch WhiteMagic touchscreen display that promises brighter images and longer battery life. An Amazon smartphone would presumably run on Android , as is the case with the Kindle Fire tablets.
