Amazon has announced a press event next week to unveil its new set-top box that will compete with the Apple TV, reports Re/code.
The e-commerce giant has invited reporters to gather for an “update on our video business” in New York next Wednesday, April 2. The popcorn and couch in the image give you a pretty good idea of what to expect, as does our previous reporting, which explained that Amazon has been preparing a Web-to-TV gadget for many months.
Earlier reports indicated that Amazon will begin shipping the video streaming device in early April. The device will also be sold by Best Buy and Staples.

Agreed to late to the party to gain any real share without massive discounting. If true Amazon are another "me to" competitor with no USP..
