Amazon readies its own video-streaming gadget
Gadget NewsIt’s taken Amazon.com a long time to get there, but the company may finally be ready to sell its own device for streaming online video to the TV.
One of the main uses of these devices is to stream video that would normally play on a PC or tablet, to the television. It sends videos from YouTube or Netflix, for example, wirelessly to the TV screen. And the tech world has been expecting a gadget like this from Amazon, which is building up a massive library of streaming videos and is even broadcasting original shows. Amazon recently announced a hike in the price of its “Prime” service, which includes video streaming.
