Mine will be here tomorrow as promised, I also got a nice "Welcome to Fire TV Stick" email. For $20, this will be a fun device to play around with.

Still waiting for mine, it'll probably be later this afternoon....got all of the tools ready for sideloading, I don't own any other android sticks or boxes so I'll be following the wiki closely. All of my media is NAS based so all of my media testing will be via SMB shares.

I think so can't wait for this I would think xbmc should work great.
once some one gets this up and going a video would be great thanks.

Sounds pretty impressive. Now I at least (maybe I'm in the minority, don't know) want Amazon to release a souped-up Fire TV box with at least 16GB storage, more RAM, better CPU/GPU for more games and apps in addition to XBMC of course. The original FTV doesn't seem as compelling an upgrade (over Stick) at $60 more.

I just received the Fire Stick, and I was able to side load SPMC so I assume XBMC will work too, because that was the AFK I was using on my Fire TV, and it is running. I still need to load a addon and test.
Also there is no remote with voice search, but there is an APP on google play FIRE TV remote, which you can use for voice search and keyboard input for the STICK.
Pretty good so far, I will try an addon and see how it works.
Also I see no difference on how to use the device compared to the FIRE TV.
