Haha you fooled me!
ha ha. Got me on Google Play Store!
Good one!
Funny. I totally fell for it.
i fell because of Kodi : (
So this post turned out to be a good joke? waoooo did not know that this page used to do this
This joke made me realize that either Amazon or Nvidia needs to drive a dump truck full of money up to Epic and get them to port the mobile version to Fire TV or Shield.
You had me. Good One.
Funny, but seriously I have been using Google Chrome
(android tv version) on my FTV’s for about a year.
It functions “ok” Silk is now the better option.
Chrome never really played well with the FTV remote and really required a mouse/keyboard to be fully functional.
Got me too… sigh.
I want to know why the Silk browser does not exit directly out of Youtube. In fact, you have to eventually hit the home button your remote to get out of the browser. I find this odd and a deal breaker.
What do you mean? The Home button is how I exit out of any app. If you press “Back” enough times you can usually get out of YouTube, but this seems like a weird way to do it.
Take a look at any Youtube app and you click back until you choose exit. In the Silk browser you click back until nothing happens. You have to navigate your way back to the browser launch page and then you can’t click back out of it. Any app returns to home page by back clicking. Silk is an exception and it just seems odd they left it like that.
Haha haha got me good! Totally ran and got my wife to come look at what Google finally allowed Amazon to make available for their appstore. Good one Elias lol
I’m glad everyone seems to have enjoyed the joke and wasn’t too heartbroken that it wasn’t true. :-)
Funny that this is an April fools joke, since any or all of these would make any Amazon TV user happy, obviously, since we clicked on it. Perhaps this would be an indicator of what you should focus on offering. Although I have been using Kodi for a while and it works well, as do some of the other apps listed.
Not heartbroken that it wasn’t true, but honestly, disappointed that some of them are not true.
If there is some sort of click counter to see which apps people clicked on most and then work on those offerings.
good post jmatteis. I didnt find the joke funny at all! Maybe its time to move over to the Nvidia Shield!
In an earlier post a forum member described all tech as good tech in referring to the 1st gen fireTV stick, after I was maybe less embracing of it as an ongoing device than he liked. I got curious and added it my list at Amazon and it came back in stock a few days ago, with a few on hand. I was very tempted to buy one just to play with, but didn’t. It’s interesting that they do come back in stock occasionally. There must still be a market for them. Who knows? I may yet one day give one a try.
