Amazon just released a new fire tv stick that is not only faster it includes a voice remote. We have them and they are awesome!
Here are some of the new features:
- The newer version features a Quad-core processor – previous versions had a Dual-core – what does this mean, FASTER!
- Voice remote included (note voice remote does not work within the kodi application)
- WiFi -addition of 802.11ac support (previous versions only supported up to 802.11n)
The upgrade to a quad-core device with a voice-control remote as standard puts the Fire Stick in the same class as the Apple TV and that’s important for Amazon.
