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.
Why did Amazon lay off most of their hardware engineering staff last month? There website for Amazon Fire TV says it is out of stock and no known date for restocking. That is not the indicator of a new product coming anytime soon. Perhaps you are right and they will go with something engineered by someone else. . . which may be why they let their own in-house engineers go.
