at $39 or whatever it costs, I suspect they aren't making a whole lot of profit on the hardware. They have an iOS app, I expect they'll have an AppleTV pretty rapidly.
- untog 11y agoI suspect they aren't making a whole lot of profit on the hardware They aren't. The idea is to get you using one and then make money from that usage.
- robwormald 11y agoWhich is why having their app on AppleTV makes sense, no? They don't care about the device playing the content, just that they're selling the content.
- MiguelHudnandez 11y agoAmazon is not just selling content, though. Their push with Fire Sticks and Fire TV is in part to get "Echo" / "Alexis" into the living room. Until you can ask Siri to buy you laundry detergent in your next subscribe-and-save order, Amazon wants to own whatever you use instead of Siri.
