Amazon to Release 'Firetube' Video Streaming Device Before the Holiday

Amazon is reportedly planning to launch a video streaming set-top box before the holiday season.


The set-top box, which would pit the online retailer against a host of established rivals, is a small device that resembles a Roku Inc. player and is similarly styled as a platform to run apps and content from a variety of sources, these people said. It would also serve as a delivery vehicle for Amazon's existing streaming video service—available as part of its Prime membership—which competes with Netflix Inc. and has been expanding lately.
