when did fire stick come out
Just about six months after Amazon unveiled its first set-top box, the company is announcing a new TV streaming dongle, or hardware attachment, meant to compete with Google's Chromecast and the Roku Stick. Amazon's new Fire TV Stick is available for preorder as of Monday, and it costs $39. That's a tiny bit more expensive than the Chromecast ($35), but it's still cheaper than Roku's dongle ($50). If you're a Prime member, you can preorder the streaming stick for $19 for the next two days. The Fire TV Stick will ship on Nov. 19.
