Earlier in the day, Amazon offered up to two per customer. In the fine print, they said it could change to one; and it did.
So glad I ordered two right away. My delivery date is 11/26 as well.

And you don't even have a Fire TV stick yet! Excited much?

I've been doing it since the Fire TV was released. I figured one day I might get a Fire TV (or a variation) and if I didn't get these apps when they were free, I'd kick myself later.

A wise monkey plans ahead

I got it for this --

"Coming soon—take Fire TV Stick with you to use with HDTVs in hotels, college dorms, or anywhere with captive portal Internet access that requires entering a password or a log-in."

I wonder how long I'll have it before I accidentally leave it in a hotel room TV.

Here's a comparison of the hardware and streaming aspects:

The android app side of the FireTV stick is what has a lot of folks intrigued.
(And, for now, the price. )

I saw that too. Very cool feature to have.

Also, it comes with a HDMI extension, so you can use that and it will at least be down where you can see it.

So, where's the the Android remote app? These websites keep saying it exists and that the iOS app is coming soon. Yet, it's not in the appstore.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out why I might need this and if it requires a Netflix/Hulu/Etc subscription on top of Prime and everything else.... ??

my Vizio TV can access Amazon Prime content, Hulu, Netflix etc directly but I only have Prime no Netflix or Hulu subscription...

Yes, if you want to watch content on Netflix or Hulu Plus, you have to subscribe to them.

In our family, we feel Netflix is an incredible value. I don't think Hulu Plus gets watched all that often, but we have it, too.

No, not if you are not going to watch that type of content. I have 4 munchkins that all love Netflix. Don't watch it much, myself.
