Amazon Fire TV Stick now shipping in the US, still no sign of a global release

Amazon Fire TV Stick now shipping in the US, still no sign of a global release Stick it to 'em

Amazon's already taken a swing at the TV market with Fire TV, but it's now delivering a follow-up punch with the Fire TV Stick, a smaller plug-and-play dongle to take on rivals like Chromecast and Roku.

That dongle is now shipping to buyers in the US for the price of $39 (around £25/AU$45) - or, if you bought it as a Prime subscriber, you'll get it for a knocked-down $19 (around £12/AU$22). You can go order one right now but you'd better be quick, as Amazon warns us that it's selling them on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Fire TV Stick can be used for viewing media or, if you fancy it, "flinging" apps to the big screen.

Amazon also says this is its "most successful device launch ever" but isn't disclosing numbers. What we're more interested in, however, is news of global availability.

Amazon told TechRadar that it still has no comment on when the rest of the world might see it. But going on previous Amazon device rollouts, we expect everyone else will be waiting until the new year.

Amazon's Kindle Voyage begins its own voyage with shipping starting today

Amazon's Kindle Voyage begins its own voyage with shipping starting today Kindle goes on a fantastic Voyage

Amazon announced today that it's begun shipping the Kindle Voyage, Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 and Fire HD Kids Edition.

The bookseller aims to dethrone the Kindle Paperwhite with the Kindle Voyage, which it says is its most advanced reader ever.

Objectively speaking, the Voyage is certainly the brightest and the thinnest of Amazon's book-focused Kindle tablets.

Amazon is selling the Kindle Voyage for $199 (£169, about AU$221).

The Voyage also has a new customizable page-turning feature that lets you flip forward and provides haptic feedback when you press lightly on the Kindle's bezel.

An Amazon spokesperson informed TechRadar that the retailer also began shipping two new Kindle Fire tablets today: the HDX 8.9 refresh and the Fire HD Kids Edition.

The new and larger HDX has improved specs, while the Kids Edition has special content for kids, a special case, and a free two-year "no questions asked" warranty.
