Once again, Amazon takes aim at Apple TV

As the holiday shopping season nears, it will be interesting to see how Apple AAPL -1.37% and Amazon’s media streaming devices do. Apple TV recently slipped from third to fourth place in the rankings of the most popular streaming media devices because of the growth of Amazon’s streaming devices, according to Parks Associates, whose data is based on last year’s U.S. sales. Google GOOG -2.27% also offers its own version of Amazon’s Fire TV stick, Chromecast.
