NEW FEATURES: Amazon said its media stick would get an update to allow many people to use the device away from home.

Amazon.com Inc has made the latest version of its popular TV and media streaming device, the Fire TV Stick, available outside the US for the first time. 

The device, which plugs into any television’s HDMI port, lets users access Amazon’s library of television shows and movies, among other content. It also brings the retail giant’s voice-activated digital assistant – Alexa – to TV sets, potentially eliminating the need for consumers to buy a stand-alone Amazon Echo device, first released in 2014 and which has sold millions of units worldwide.
