it tracks your facial movements? so not only can it identify the products i have in my home, what i'm listening to and watching on tv, but it knows how i'm feeling when i look at an image on screen? this is the creepiest phone i've ever seen

I don't understand how companies can come to market and expect to compete against the iPhone and Galaxy (or HTC) at the same prices (Fire was/is $200 + contract). That's just stupid.
Offer a comparable quality, great design for less and you'll get customers. For how brilliant Amazon is, you think someone would say that.
I just looked at one today, can't say I did more than pick it up, unless it "feels" like something great or unique, why bother?
(Microsoft should have done that too, especially with the Surface line, they'd have a good following now - great product, but ain't cheap, breaking into these markets can destroy a company, even HTC and Samsung are screwing things up along the way)

2 stars on amazon though.
- Yeah I like how when you search for it, the first result is Amazon's own page with a two star rating.ukit2

Poor Amazon is literally sitting on $83 million worth of these units that they simply cannot sell, not even after dropping the price from $200 to $0.99 or less.

Just pre-ordered an Amazon Fire Stick for $19

- < haven't you got Apple TV? just airplay it duhfadein11
- Yeah I have Apple TV on one set. But our bedroom set could use a device, and this cuts out the need for a 3rd device to airplay frommonospaced
- device to AirPlay from.monospaced
- Plus, the price is basically free.monospaced
- true - sorry you didn't mention bedroom viewing.fadein11
- I nearly bought one but using Apple TV for now - but as you say so cheap may as well just get one and a chromecast.fadein11
- Yeah. Our bedroom TV isn't hooked up to cable or anything. It's only used rarely and mostly when we work out.monospaced
- No more moving Apple TV around. Just turn on, grab Fire Stick remote, done.monospaced
- I considered the ChromeCast, but it is also lacking access to Amazon content.monospaced
- just bought one too. for $20 the access to prime is worth it alone.jaylarson
- exactlymonospaced

Sounds like classic example of a company telling its own managers what they think they want to hear...yea it will have AMazon product buying, and you can only buy apps from the Amazon store....people will love it!!

All this talk of Amazon TV, Chromecast, Apple TV etc.
3 WORDS: Rasperry Pi, XBMC & Plugins
About £35 with case and remote then, EVERYTHING FREE. FOREVER.
- wait, thats 4 words. Ah well, just focus on the fact content is FREE.sem
- you get HBO, Showtime, Networks (major), Hulu, Netflix and Spotify accounts FOR FREE???monospaced
- I call bullshit. Plus, all those "words" are a huge pain in the ass.monospaced
- You have to buy all those things though, so not freecannonball1978

So what's best between the Amazon Fire and Chrome Cast? Want to get one for my folks, so it needs to be easy enough for them to understand
- get them a book...yurimon
- I have tried both, and they are both extremely pathetic compared to Roku or Apple TVs. Amazon has Prime video/audiomonospaced
- Cheers Mono. I had an early Apple TV and found it annoying, but Airplay is much better now yeah?Ianbolton
- Airplay I hardly ever use.monospaced
