Next generation streaming devices from Amazon may be powered by a proprietary OS, if the latest rumor is true.
For the longest time, Amazon’s tablet and TV devices used a slimmed, somewhat locked-down variant of Android called Fire OS. This was useful for end users for general familiarity and ease of use, and also for techies, who found the devices easy to hack to add functionality. All things must change and evolve though, and to that end, Amazon is purportedly readying up its first device with its in-house Vega OS.
