    You can use it to "fling" music and movies from your iOS and Anderoid devices, so you can listen to music from the iTunes songs you have on your device.

    I ordered one. Delivery estimated for November 26th.

      While I imagine this device will be pretty nice (especially for $19), I really wish it had the ability to plug in headphones to the remote like the Roku 3. That is a really great feature.
      That's why I will keep the Roku 3 in the bedroom so as not to wake my sleeping spouse. This can go on any other TV. CRAZY DDDEAL!

            Better comparison would be ChromeCast.

            Anything that would get you to dump that iTunes piece of garbage would be a good thing in the long run. Trust me on that one. Plex is 100 times better than iTunes.

              But better than ChromeCast, which can't stream Amazon Prime.

                So if I have a Smart TV in one room and my other TV are connected to either a game system or a dvd player that gets amazon prime/netflix/other apps, what would be the advantage of getting this fire stick?

                    Outside of Tetris, probably nothing. As long as you are getting the services you want from your current setup.

                    Right now one of my tvs is using a WD Live, which really sucks and doesn't stream Amazon Prime. This will replace the WD.

                      I am buying it to get a better Plex app on my upstairs TV. I use the standard DLNA thing that comes with my smart tv, but it sucks. For $19, this seems like a good deal even if it is just for that.

                        this is where i was. dont understand why people are buying it, but then i realized some people still have old TVs or dont have streaming capability on all their current TVs so i stopped judging the less fortunate and found joy in their new-found happiness.

                                Most video game consoles have crappy UI (for TV/streaming services).
