“Amazon’s Fire TV and Fire TV Stick will soon be much more useful, due to an impending update. Both streaming media hubs will work in dorm rooms, hotels and other places where you have to sign in before you get online — you can pack your device on that big vacation. The two also get support for Prime Music playlists, shortcuts for screen mirroring and hidden PIN codes when you make a purchase. You’re in for the biggest treat if you have a full-fledged Fire TV box, since you’ll get support for USB storage (to hold all your extra apps and games) and Bluetooth headphones (for those late-night movies).”

Amazon have just made their Fire TV Stick available to pre order in the UK, costing as little as £7 for new prime customers, rising to £19 and if not a prime customer the Amazon TV stick will cost £35.
