Yeah IIRC Amazon had the voice controlled TV Box for a year or more now...

Amazon Fire TV has been discontinued due to problems with functionality and lackluster sales. Amazon has laid off their Fire engineering staff.

"Amazon Fire TV has been discontinued due to problems with functionality and lackluster sales."

Ahh I see more FUD from the Head FUDster... Next-gen Amazon Fire TV (or stick) Update: As Nate points out, it’s likely that the FCC listing describes a next-gen Fire TV rather than a Fire TV Stick, since the documents mention a microSD card slot and Ethernet jack.

FCC Lists A Potential Fire TV Successor
