Former Windows Phone GM Charlie Kindel has announced this week that he has been hired by Amazon, fueling rumors that Amazon's oft-rumored smartphone may be in the works.
Kindel's LinkedIn profile says his role is "director of something secret" and he is already looking to "build a new team going after a totally new area for Amazon."
In his past life, Kindel worked for Microsoft working with mobile developers.
Last year, the former head of Windows Phone Developer Experience, Brandon Watson, joined Amazon's Kindle team.
