When did you order yours Don?
We knew Scott would get one first.
Apple has probably already sent him an iPhone 7.
Damn it must nice to be you!
Yes. There is a hint of jealousy in that last statement. LOL

It was pointed out to me you can see, if you hover over the dates other than the current one.I will see if its something I can add.
Since you can't hover on a phone or tablet this is a good improvement..It was pointed out to me you can see, if you hover over the dates other than the current one.
Both of mine will deliver today, which is surprising considering originally one was showing the 28th and one at the first of December.
Our friend Dave Zatz takes a look at the Fire Stick
After 12 hours with the Amazon Fire TV Stick, some thoughts…
The remote feels exceedingly cheap compared to the premium clicker that ships with the full-fledged Fire TV box and I had some difficulty removing the battery cover. Having said that, a flimsy remote is infinitely more valuable than no remote… versus Google Chromecast, which requires a smartphone for interaction.
In the app department, the Fire TV UI remains somewhat unwieldy compared to Roku given its expected emphasis of Amazon services – but it’s certainly manageable, More importantly, the third party content selection is still lacking. For example, our kitchen TV is perfectly suited for CNN or Sky News (as seen on Apple TV) background noise, yet neither are available. Also missing, but expected soon, is HBO GO. I had no problems streaming Netflix and WatchESPN – both looked great. Plex also seems to be working well.

Installed mine about 30 minutes ago. It's been download a software update ever since it connected. Servers must be super busy.
Got mine yesterday and tried it for a bit. Loads very fast. Especially Amazon. Netflix loads the same as Roku 3.
The stick be won't be replacing any of my Rokus but will definitely be used for travel.
