Amazon pulling Chromecast and Apple TV from shelves

Apple TV will have a version of the App Store that has been a hit on iPhones.

By letting media companies keep control of their content in apps, Apple could find new money-making models while sidestepping worries studios might have about distribution rights.
Amazon also makes a gaming version of its Fire TV box.

According to the research firm Parks Associates: Roku leads the US market with a 37 percent market share, to 19 percent for Google Chromecast and 17 percent for Apple TV. Amazon's Fire TV devices have 14 percent.
