With immediate effect on Amazon Show device and from Jan on things like Fire Sticks and presumably tablets?

Might make you think twice before compiling your Xmas present list.
At home we use a Fire stick on 2nd TV and casting from phone to Youtube on TV is a highly used app.

At the moment I can cast from YouTube app to Fire Stick by tapping the cast icon on the phone app. This is how we use cast to YouTube on Roku, Now TV box and Fire stick. Ain't gonna happen with a web browser.
Anyway, till the spoiled brats have finished their argument, any new Amazon or Google devices are off the menu for me.
For example, Google Home users are able to access Amazon Music currently. That'll be removed if the war continues.0 -
Bought mine in the black friday sale, to be honest I hate the interface on the thing, you cant customise it with your own home page etc unless there is a way of course? But the deal breaker is youtube, so if they dont sort it by the new year I will return it.Old Faithful we roam the range together,
Old Faithful in any kind of weather,
When the round up days are over,
And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
For you old faithful pal of mine.0 -
