Is Amazon.com stretched too thin? The company that has come to define e-commerce has reported over $1 billion in losses this year, and projects losses in the coming quarter could top $500 million.

Amazon, which has expanded from its e-tailer roots into a maker of its own products--and now TV shows took, had a huge belly flop with its first smartphone, the Fire, released this summer. Amazon took a nasty $170 million write down for the phone, and is sitting on millions of dollars of unsold inventory.

Where does Amazon go from here?

In this week's podcast, fellow USA TODAY tech columnist Ed Baig and I weigh in on Amazon's venture into phones and other hardware, its foray into physical retail and where it should concentrate its efforts from here.
