Xbox considering an xCloud streaming stick

The next few years will see two major releases ready by Apple, one the Kindle Fire and the other the iBeacon, and many folks will have been wondering how many of Apple's devices will actually support both of their devices. We think that the iBeacon's $99 price is a good starting point, but will they really want to jump this many years later, when Amazon Prime members are just getting into tablets? And if they aren't getting into tablet as well as the Kindle in the first place, will they really be too scared of Amazon to support Google's new Android, or more importantly Apple's iPad?

So, there you have it- the Apple 2G model. At $99, Google will launch a new version to replace the new model Apple introduced last fall. The reason for that is that you won't have Apple's own cloud with Apple's own infrastructure for downloading files and playing them with your iPad. The same goes for Google's own cloud with Windows and MacOS, meaning that even though Google will have access to your data whenever you use the internet, you will have access to your home data only from your phone and not Google's, which would be awesome for you. But in the end, Google will just have access to all your data, too, so you won't have to download movies and TV shows on your own.
All in all- a deal-breaker for you.
Update: This article is based on information from a recent Amazon review, and I've updated it to explain how the Kindle Fire might still work just like the eReader, with an Apple name, but with the Amazon logo. I will update this if I receive more comments on my post, and I'll include a link to a few more reviews that were published just after the link started coming up.
If you're a Google fan yet, then maybe you're not surprised that some Android lovers are saying that Amazon is not doing what people were saying, and that there have been too few tablets coming out of the box to support them. I think you're right!
The iBeacon seems pretty solid and works like good for me since it's a "first party" tablet. It's very good at listening to you, and then at using it if not even the most demanding task, like downloading music off the wall or watching DVDs. (And it really doesn't get better than that...!) I can tell you that without that, this device has a bit of a low price point right now, and you get what you pay for.
It doesn't seem to be as bulky or sturdy as the iBeacon, but it can be pretty handy in some ways. Like, for example, if you're on a hot day getting up and running.
I don't know if it's an improvement over the iBeacon, or if it's worth it, but I have a feeling that if you can pick up something like the Kindle Fire, the iBeacon will be pretty damn good for keeping you going. I still think an iBeacon would be fine for the occasional writer, but it looks like Amazon's version is going to have its share of criticism.
