out a few items that might be on your wishlist and that we think
Apple might not be so pleased about: Amazon Fire TV,
Amazon Fire tablet, a case that will add touch functions to the
back of iPhones and iPads, and an underwater drone.
What’s this all about?

3. Amazon Fire TV
If you were not already aware, Amazon has plans in the making to take over your
TV and Fire TV appears to be very strong competitor against Apple TV.
Amazon Fire TV is a digital media player and micro console developed
(obviously) by Amazon. It is a small network appliance and entertainment device
designed to stream digital video and audio to your HD TV. Fire TV also allows
users to play video games with the included remote, via a mobile app, or with an
optional game controller.
The device features 2GB of RAM, MIMO dual band Wi-Fi, and a Bluetooth
remote control with a microphone for voice search.
Coming in at £79.99 it is slightly more costly than the Apple TV (£59) but Amazon
is making a bold statement with its latest upgrade to their Fire devices.

4. Amazon Fire Tablet
Amazon’s Fire Tablets are more an entry point to purchasing content
and shopping for physical goods than devices for productivity and
quality photography. They are all about consumption.
Amazon plan to get their tablets into the hands of as many people as
they can by offering a new introductory tablet for just £79.99, a smart
move in my opinion.
It’s promised to perform very decently with a quad-core processor.
There is only 8GB of storage, however, like the Amazon Fire TV; it is
expandable with a microSD card onto which you can download movies
and TV series from Amazon Prime for offline viewing.

5. Handycase
This new case for Apple iPad and iPhone, effectively makes your
device see through and controllable from behind.
The case will allow users the capability to tap and swipe their mobile
device from the rear via an attached case by magically seeing their
hands through the screen.
“The Handycase was developed as a useful, ergonomic tool to access
multiple touch points on a mobile device from the back panel. The
smart case allows for one or two handed interaction with games, maps
and other next generation applications,” explains one of the creators of
the device.
The case comes in various sizes to support iPad, iPhone and some
Android devices that can connect via Bluetooth LE.

6. OpenRov Trident
The OpenRov Trident is a submersible that can help people explore
the ocean life and learn about what’s hanging out under the docks in
your hometown’s seafront. Users have the option to view what the
camera sees through a virtual reality headset.
The OpenRov Trident is essentially snorkelling for the lazy ones, it’s
also useful for those that are too afraid of what lies beneath the
surface so don’t want to physically dive down there themselves.
At the very least, it should prove a killer educational experience.
