Ha! I told you so!

This just makes sense.  Although we currently see the phone world as iOS vs Android, it just isn't the case.

BlackBerry (Z10) is making a come back, keeping its position as a communications giant .. business folks who don't need the frills but are delighted to pay for great email and messaging.  Apps?  They've a translator from Android, so no worries.

Moz phone.  OK, sure it could fail but there's a lot of energy behind it.

So now, Amazon.  Well, they have a lot of experience with Android, and have modded it to work fine for their Tablet while keeping their brand of books and media.  So like RIM, they likely can have their own place in the cell phone sun.

Now anyone wanna bet about Twitter & Facebook?  I bet the odds just got a lot better!

needs to be a bit thicker and a bit larger screen with a reel keyboard.
Otherwise could be interesting....
One important question: Does it blend?

When it looked like a 47 inch cell phone, because I was reading the included URL rather than the Subject line, it seemed very unlikely to me.
