Amazon Follows Through: Drops Apple TV, Chromecast

Posted by timothy on Saturday October 31, 2015 @12:25PM from the but-roku-is-ok dept.

Hot Hardware notes that Amazon has stopped selling two pieces of hardware -- Apple TV and Google's Chromecast -- that compete with Amazon's own streaming business. (They promised to drop them a while back; not everyone though they actually would.) From the article: While some have likened this move to being anti-competitive, it's hard to grasp whether the legal system would agree. Amazon's defense is that since these devices don't support Prime Video, it doesn't want to sell products to its customers and have them assume that they will."

What if I buy a Prime-capable device, but I'm not a Prime customers. Won't I be confused?
Too late.
