Amazon takes on Apple TV with new $99 fireTV streaming & gaming set-top box

Amazon takes on Apple TV with new $99 fireTV streaming & gaming set-top box - Amazon unveiled the fireTV, its new 1080p HDTV accessory at a media event in New York City on Wednesday, boasting that with a quad-core CPU and 2 gigabytes of RAM, it's three times as powerful as existing devices on the market, all while being about as tall as a "piece of popped corn," the company said.


Personally, I don't own a television. Not without irony. However, the Android wins just keep stacking up. Google, Amazon and Samsung. 3 powerhouses behind one runtime environment with (rapidly improving) development tools.

If only Android dev tools were as good as Xcode.
