Amazon Fire the Tv box launched in Europe

Amazon announced on Wednesday the launch of its own TV box, the Amazon Fire TV in Europe , starting with the UK and Germany. In other words, and for now, France and other European countries are not affected by this measure , and the giant of online commerce has provided no indication of when this case happen to us. Presumably it is only a matter of weeks or months, but nothing is said to date.

Anyway, the lucky German customers can get their hands on the Amazon Fire TV when it goes on sale on September 25 to 99 euros , but people who already subscribe to Amazon Prime will get one for half that price. However, the Amazon Fire TV will be available on October 23 in the UK for £ 79 or £ 49 for subscribers to its Prime service.
's housing is already available for pre-order in both countries.

On the material of the box, it is the same, and no matter which side of the Atlantic you live. So you'll have a Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm 600, 2GB of RAM, a storage space of 8GB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and an Ethernet jack. It also comes with a wireless remote with a microphone for voice search.

The Amazon Fire TV is like the Apple TV from Apple, the Roku TV or the Chromecast Google, designed to stream music and videos online, but also to allow you to play games with a joystick optional wireless.

But where things differ is in the content . Indeed, the European versions of the case will have access to content that is not available in the United States (and vice versa). Amazon is obviously associated with some of the local broadcasters to offer more personalized for users. Content
For example, there is no Hulu Plus in the UK or Germany, but customers in the UK can access Netflix, Spotify and Sky News. Those residing in Germany can access regional content as Spiegel.TV and tagesschau. And of course, you can stream content to Amazon Prime Instant Video.
