This is the fifth or sixth Android 'console.' Back at E3 Mad Catz annoyed its own Ouya coming with its not-360 controller, but I don't think anyone reported on it. At least Amazon might not have an amateur UI and might make for a good Roku alternative.

Amazon Game Studios is hiring! Make games at one of the most innovative companies in tech! We are currently hard at work on an project that will provide the right candidates with the potential to work on game experiences that push the boundaries of technology. Our team includes industry veterans of dozens of titles including Thief, System Shock 2, Half Life 2, Left for Dead, Age of Empires, Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Call of Duty and Bioshock, with a pinch of Amazon peculiarity thrown in.

We’re seeking great talent to fill a few key game development positions at our Seattle, WA headquarters: http://jobs.gamasutra.com/jobseekerx/viewjobrss.asp?cjid=33762&accountno=87474

I don't often get to be smug, but I totally called this a year or so ago both here and on The Cruncheons, and was soundly poo-pooed, so OH BOY am I gonna be insufferably smug about it on the next episode

looks a lot like the onlive controller. no touchpad is odd if it's an android box, or maybe it's barely going to resemble an android interface.

and is that radioactive logo related to the device, like part of its branding? or is it the power button

My first thought also. Like they are just re-purposing them or they were made by the same manufacturers.

Games on this thing are going to tank harder than iOS controllers.

Amazon's collecting up their own devs, I doubt it'll tank as hard as regular Android/iOS games. You'll get a handful of okay titles before they drop the effort.
