Amazon Firetube Review by PING Nigeria
October 2013 has been an incredible month for the gadget and technology addicts. However, unlike the mobile phone war or the latest Laptop war, a new type of war is brewing in the technology industry. It is rumored that Amazon filed a trademark application for a device called the Firetube. It is also suspected that this device will directly rival the Apple TV or the Roku. The main idea behind the Amazon’s Firetube is to stream content from the Amazon Network to the user’s television sets.
With Amazon onDemand already proven a huge success, there is no doubt that Firetube will become a major product the consumers will adopt very easily. The Wall Street Journal supported this claim by saying, Amazon’s TV Box will “serve as a delivery vehicle for Amazon’s existing streaming video service. ” Majority of the TV manufacturers are designing Televisions that are not just LCD with full HD but they make sure their TV has built in support for popular streaming services, has games, useful applications and ultimately connects to the Wireless Internet.
So, it’s no surprise that Amazon would not think about tapping into this market and offer a box of its own featuring some of the applications you may already find in your smart TV or a console device like PS3 or a X-Box. It is still unclear whether the Firetube will make Amazon onDemand service any more attractive but there is no doubt that in terms of high quality content Amazon will be competing head to head with Netflix, Roku, Hulu and other companies that allow you to stream high quality videos on demand.
