Fire TV is just a rush first to market type product that will fail epic style.
I have been saying the same about SIRI for a long time.....
Yeah, my perception of Amazon is probably not the same as an American.
In Canada, Amazon.ca is nowhere as popular as Amazon.com in the US. They have a very poor product selection and prices aren't particularly good. We always get products like Kindles very late and I've yet to see a Kindle Fire in the wild, or find any person who subscribes to Amazon Prime.
But from what I understand Amazon is really big in the US, so people might buy this set-top box just because they already have an Amazon Prime subscription.
Yeah, Apple fans deriding a product for poor voice control is laughable. It can't possibly be worse than Siri.
Now if Apple or Amazon could get the high accuracy voice control that Google's app has, these devices could get going....
As I said days ago, there's a reason why Apple hasn't launched App Store on Apple TV: they still haven't figured out how to deliver the rich experience we demand. Fire TV is just a rush first to market type product that will fail epic style.
I'm confused as to why anyone would need one of these.
That's not fair to Amazon. I think we have a real competitor here and I'm glad to see it. Hopefully the gaming experience for Amazon's box drives quality gaming on the as-yet-unreleased Apple TV App Store.
This argument is tired and boring now. Its the same argument for every product that comes out. Ive summarised below.
Before Apple
- The product is rushed trying to be first to market.
After Apple
- They have copied Apple.
Seems like they're nitpicking to me.

Not at all. But in this case the negative reviews back up my opinion.
I truly wish I could be more positive about this device. But I can't see any of the huge numbers of Apple TV owners buying into Fire TV. There is no compelling reason to do so.
Imagine Steve Ballmer jumping up and down a stage: „Content, Content, Content, Content, Content, Content“Due to the extreme limitations of Voice Search, browsing through Netflix -- where you'll probably spend most of your time, considering Amazon's rather limited library of quality movies for free streaming -- is, once again, manual labor.
Compared to 7.8/10 for Apple Tv.
Negative reviews? Its scored higher then the Apple TV in reviews.
Why do you think this is purely aimed at Apple TV owners? You do realise how huge Amazon and their customer database is dont you?
Let's see what Apple does this year with ATV. When Cook says it's become more than a hobby then something must be cooking.

It's not aimed purely at Apple TV owners obviously. But whenever you launch a new device, it's normal to compare it to the current market leader.
Amazon is a huge retailer but they have really only succeeded selling digital books so far. Apple is a million miles ahead of them in terms of Music, TV and Movies.
