Amazon is following the footsteps of the Microsofts and Apples of the world

Amazon, is all set to launch its first brick-and-mortar store in Manhattan this December, just in time for the holiday season in the US. Following in the footsteps of the Apples and Microsofts of the world, Amazon hopes to sell its undersold product — the Fire Phone — and provide a selling point for its other products. If the store turns out to be as successful as it’s touted to be, Amazon’s drones might just end up feeling a little left out.
