Amazon have announced another streaming device, this one is the Amazon Fire TV Stick. You may think you have already seen the Fire TV and you would be correct. This is a new device, smaller that the Fire TV and around the same size as a Chromecast dongle. It seems to have the same features as the bigger Fire TV but with a dual core processor instead of the quad core chip.

With the TV stick you can get apps like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and YouTube. It comes with a remote control and is pre-configured to your Amazon account. It’s also cheaper than the larger device, the US price will be $39, no UK price yet. The Fire TV Stick will be on sale in the US November 13th.
