The Re/Code report and the Amazon press invite also line-up nicely with the previous reports that suggested that e-retail giant will launch its video streaming device in early-April.
According to the information available until now, Amazon is opting for a Chromecast like form factor for this device, which might also work as a casual gaming console. Images of the controller for this console were leaked online recently.
The Amazon video-streaming device, which might be dubbed as Firetube, will run on Fire OS, the forked version of Android used by the company in its Kindle Fire tablets. This device will not only support streaming of content from Amazon Instant Video but also allow the consumers to install third-party apps to access other streaming services.
The device will compete with the likes of Apple TV, Chromecast and Roku.
