Well, it’s definitely a good thing that so many popular off-the-shelf devices are now accessible, competition is always good for innovation, but let’s not forget that ultimately we do have Apple to thank for that. I just checked on Amazon.ca and was surprised that they are selling the Fire TV stick here in Canada for $39.99, Amazon certainly hasn’t been all that good about making their products and services available in other countries. I will just wait until the Apple TV will get the Amazon Prime Video app, given all the announcements going back quite a long time I really can’t see how that will be too much longer. I just don’t feel like continueing to buy all these gadegets which basically do the same thing just maybe in a different way unless it’s absolutely necessary. Sames goes for the Chromcast devices, they are inexpensive and seem to work well and the approach that you start something from an app on the phone and then the Chromcast takes over is I think quite innovative and nice, but as I said, it’s just another device which I need to find a port for and my 9-year old Sony 40 inch LCD TV only has 2 HDMI inputs which we use for our Apple TV and for my wife’s TFC set top box (that’s “The Filipino Channel”). As far as I can tell that’s simply an Android box customized for their purposes, but if we wanted to add anything else we also would have to buy a good HDMI splitter and on and on.

The fire TV is actually quite accessible. It uses VoiceView as its screen reader also found on their tablets. I have both the fire TV and apple TV 4th gen and still prefer the apple TV but the Fire TV is actually quite good as well, especially if you have Prime Video.

I do have an Apple TV fourth generation, although I don’t use it that much frankly. But I do scan the technical press every day, and I haven’t seen anything about the release. So I don’t think they have. Frankly I think the fire TV stick is a better deal at this point as opposed to the Apple TV.
