## Transcript

The very first Amazon smartphone will launch exclusively on one carrier. This is according to several new reports out Tuesday. AT & T reportedly will become the exclusive carrier for Amazon's new smartphone. The report comes amid speculation Amazon will unveil a smartphone. With a 3D retina display tomorrow at an event in Seattle. Sources who claim to be familiar with the plans told the Wall Street Journal the arrangement will extend Amazon's already tight- knit relationship with AT & T. The carrier also provides customers with wireless service to Amazon's Kindle tablets. And e- readers. And, as USA Today points out, the move could help AT & T lock in some new subscribers in a highly competitive smart phone market, which is currently dominated by Apple and Samsung.

But AT & T is hardly a newbie when it comes to exclusively launching service for new phones. As any Verizon, Sprint, or T- Mobile customer will no doubt remember, AT & T carried the iPhone exclusively for years. It also had the Facebook phone and Nokia Lumia 700 before anyone else. Hopefully the Amazon smartphone will do a little better than those last two though. Amazon is expected to introduce the mysterious new smart phone in Seattle Wednesday. Very few details are known about the phone and the company has been careful to keep its features mostly under wraps. As evidenced by this very secretive sneak peek that never actually shows the device.

But several news outlets seem to agree its four front facing infrared cameras will be able to track a user's head to make some images appear to be 3D, kind of like a hologram. Amazon is expected to start shipping phones by the end of September just in time for the 2014 holiday season. Thanks for watching, I'm Cliff Judy.
